Bordered by the cities of Richmond, Petersburg, Hopewell, and Colonial Heights, the community of Chester, Virginia, is a lovely place to buy a home in Chesterfield County. Chester’s fabulous location between the James and Appomattox Rivers offers an abundance of natural beauty, as well as seemingly endless opportunities for outdoor recreation experiences. This well-established community has a rich heritage and long history that includes being a Civil War battle site and a stop on the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad. Today, Chester is best described as a desirable bedroom community less than seventeen miles from the state capital. This proximity to Richmond affords residents the best of both worlds - a quiet, laid-back lifestyle and easy access to big-city services, amenities, and attractions.
It isn’t uncommon to see Chester residents reading The Village News or lounging on the banks of Ashton Creek. Specific points of interest in Chester include Henricus Historical Park, and several other historically significant destinations. Established in 1611, Henricus was the second successful English city in the New World, and where Pocahontas grew up. Many battles between the Native Americans and the English took place here, along the James River, until the marriage of Pocahontas and John Rolfe. The R. Garland Dodd Park at Point of Rocks is another must-visit attraction in Chester. This one hundred and seventy-six-acre park encompasses multiple athletic features and a diverse natural landscape. Here you will find scenic trails, a floating boardwalk, and a freshwater tidal marsh. In addition to all of those exciting amenities, Chester is also home to fantastic dining options that range from fast-food chains and locally-owned eateries to elegant fine dining restaurants. Many of Chester’s dining options are conveniently located at the intersection of West Hundred Road and Highway 301.
