Henrico Co. (Eastern / Sandston)

Eastern Henrico County, including the historic Sandston area, offers a welcoming blend of small-town character, affordability, and convenience just minutes from downtown Richmond. Originally developed in the early 20th century to serve families connected to the nearby railroad and airport, the area today features a diverse mix of housing—ranging from charming postwar cottages and classic brick ranchers to newer subdivisions that appeal to first-time and move-up buyers alike. In recent years, eastern Henrico has also experienced exciting redevelopment along the James River, with communities such as Rockett’s Landing introducing upscale condominiums, restaurants, and riverfront trails that blend modern living with scenic charm. Residents enjoy easy access to major thoroughfares, with shopping and dining options at White Oak Village and entertainment venues like Richmond Raceway close at hand. The community also benefits from proximity to top medical facilities, including Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital and Henrico Doctors’ Hospital. Eastern Henrico’s strong public schools and several nearby private academies make it an attractive choice for families seeking value and convenience within a setting rich in history and community pride.
