Settled suburb tucked away beneath the trees
With a name derived from an Algonquian word for a root plant that local Powhatan tribes relied on when corn was scarce, Tuckahoe Village is in Henrico County on the edge of Richmond’s West End, often called the Far West End. The neighborhood’s quiet, tree-lined streets feel tucked away, but it’s only 5 miles from Short Pump and 17 miles from Downtown Richmond. “If you don’t find yourself on Lauderdale or Careybrook Drive or over near Ruby Carver Elementary, you wouldn’t even know it’s there, which I think is another nice feature of the community,” says Jennifer Pardon, a Realtor at Nexthome Advantage and a Richmond native who has 23 years of experience selling in the area. “I love that, because people who aren’t familiar with Richmond inevitably go to Hull Street or Short Pump, and then they drive around and they feel like they’re in the middle of D.C., but you don’t have to go very far off of those main roads to find really quaint, quiet neighborhoods where residents are really invested in the community.” And Tuckahoe Village, Pardon says, is a neighborhood where people are invested, from longtime residents who have been there for decades to younger families buying their first homes.
Townhouses, single-family homes on larger lots
Tuckahoe Village has kept much of its wooded landscape, with white oak and flowering dogwood trees lining many streets. Although the area lacks sidewalks, its wide, quiet streets are ideal for walking. “You drive through Tuckahoe Village and you see lots of people walking with their strollers and their kids on their bikes and people with their dogs,” Pardon says. Many of the Cape Cods, colonials and brick ranch-style homes here were built between the 1950s and 1990s. Pardon says these older homes come with benefits such as larger lot sizes than newer homes. The neighborhood also has townhouses and apartment complexes. Two-bedroom townhouses start at around $250,000 and detached three-bedroom fixer-uppers start at around $315,000. Home prices can climb to around $750,000 for a large four-bedroom on a third of an acre, and like the rest of Richmond, competition for homes here is steep.

Eagle watching at Tuckahoe Creek Park
Tuckahoe Creek Park is also a popular spot to go fishing or simply to enjoy nature. “It’s a natural protected wildlife area, and the county has recently built a nature walk – a wooden walk that skirts the shoreline where people can walk because it’s kind of marshy,” Pardon says. “There are a ton of birdwatchers and eagle watchers. There are some eagles that nest toward the back of the creek, so it’s a nice little place to get away.” The boardwalk is ADA-accessible, and residents enjoy walking their dogs here or having picnics at its sheltered tables. Locals beat the heat at Tuckahoe Village West Recreation’s outdoor pool, swim meets are often held at the local Nova of Virginia Aquatics and the Tuckahoe Little League has a large park just outside the neighborhood where games and practices are held. Nearby, Deep Run Park offers over 150 acres of walking trails, soccer fields, playgrounds and a community center.

Thrifting along Patterson Avenue
Tuckahoe Village Shopping Center is the neighborhood’s main shopping and dining hub. “It’s chock full of locally owned businesses,” Pardon says. “Hope Thrift is there, that’s an extension of one of the big churches in the neighborhood, and there’s a few eateries that are owned by residents in the neighborhood, so it has a lot of ties to the community.” In addition to Hope Thrift, the center has Thrift For Life and Patterson Antiques, so locals can explore these shops or pick up home essentials at the hardware store or Food Lion before eating at a local restaurant. Jadean’s Smokin’ Six O BBQ is a popular dinner spot, and on the northern side of the neighborhood, Deep Run Roadhouse is a must-try for its “Train Wreck,” where a choice of meat is poured over jalapenos. mac and cheese, pinto beans and cornbread. Nearby, Shawarma Bistro is also popular for its marinated chicken shawarma. For a fun night out, residents can head to HATTheatre to see a musical or improv show or make the short drive to Short Pump for its abundance of shopping and dining options.

Commuting 17 miles to Downtown Richmond
Tuckahoe Village is heavily car-dependent since the Greater Richmond Transit System, or GRTC, doesn’t reach the neighborhood. Patterson Avenue runs along its southern border, but most of its streets are on the smaller side. It takes just a few minutes to get on State Route 288 or Interstate 64, the latter of which brings commuters to Downtown Richmond in about 25 minutes.
Farmers market, outdoor movies at local parks
Local vendors set up their stalls at the year-round West End Farmers Market every Saturday at Discovery United Methodist Church on Gayton Road to display fresh produce and locally made goods. From April through October, locals can catch outdoor movies at local green spaces like Deep Run Park.
