Southampton Home for Rent

Southampton in Richmond is a forested community characterized by narrow, winding roads and single-family homes from the 1950s and 60s, including Cape Cod, ranch-style, Colonial Revival, and split-level designs. Many homes feature updated interiors and sit on manicured lots. The neighborhood is known for its quiet, friendly atmosphere, with residents enjoying a balance of privacy and community. Southampton is car-dependent, with Chippenham Parkway providing a 9-mile route to downtown Richmond and the Huguenot Memorial Bridge offering access to the Near West End. Local amenities include the Stony Point Shopping Center, featuring Trader Joe’s and Gelati Celesti Ice Cream, and the upscale Stony Point Fashion Park. Dining options on Buford Road include Joe’s Inn, Genova’s Pizza Station, and Cathay Gourmet Chinese Restaurant. For medical services, Chippenham Hospital is about 5 miles south. The Southampton Recreation Association offers an outdoor pool, swim team, clubhouse, and tennis courts. Riverside Drive, a scenic route along the James River, leads to Huguenot Flatwater Park, ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding. Larus Park, a lesser-known 106-acre park, provides wooded walking trails. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, and students attend Richmond Public Schools, with J.B. Fisher Elementary receiving a high rating. The Richmond International Airport is approximately 20 miles east.
