Woodlake, VA Homes for Rent

Woodlake is a suburb with a sense of community. The master-planned neighborhood offers 16 playgrounds, 16 tennis courts, 13 miles of trails, three volleyball courts, three outdoor pools and one indoor pool. Residents pay a fee to join the Woodlake Community Association, gaining access to the area’s facilities and events. The motto here is “Life on the Lake,” as Woodlake borders the 1,700-acre Swift Creek Reservoir, and locals can rent kayaks, pontoons or boat slips to access the water. Plus, it’s near Hull Street Road, lined with retail and restaurant options, and major roadways that travel throughout the Richmond area. “You don’t get bored in Woodlake unless you choose to,” says Barry Roach, the Woodlake Community Association’s director of communication and outreach. Woodlake's amenities bring neighbors together. A 13-mile wooded trail system meanders through and pocket playgrounds sit in the center of cul-de-sacs. Kids ride their bikes to friends’ houses, and with the nearby Chesterfield Police Station, parents feel safe letting them go. There are two separate clubhouses, each with an outdoor pool and amenities. The Woodlake Swim & Racquet Club has clay tennis and pickleball
