Southampton Homes for Sale

Southampton in west Richmond is a 1950s-era residential neighborhood that grew out of former farmland along the James River. Wooded lots, rolling hills and narrow, tree-lined streets give the area a quiet, natural feel, while greenery and fenced yards add a sense of privacy between homes. Downtown Richmond is about 8 miles east, but the neighborhood feels somewhat removed from the busier parts of the city. Daily life in Southampton often centers on the river, with Huguenot Flatwater and Pony Pasture nearby for tubing, kayaking and short wooded trails, plus picnic spots and access to the Upper James rapids. Homes here are mainly mid-century, including Colonial Revival houses, bungalows and brick ranch-style homes on lots that range from about half an acre to more than 5 acres, with a few newer neotraditional builds scattered throughout. Stony Point Fashion Park, Forest Hill Avenue and Huguenot Road bring things to do, dining and shopping within a short drive, from Southern Kitchen and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar to Zorch Pizza Parlor and MOSAIC Restaurant. Everyday groceries and essentials are available at Trader Joe's, ALDI and Walmart within 3 miles. Members of Willow Oaks Country Club have access to a par-72 golf course, tennis courts and an outdoor pool. Most residents rely on cars, with Chippenham Parkway, Powhite Parkway, Interstate 195 and Huguenot Road all close by.
