Ford offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle with room to spread out and quick connections to larger hubs. Set along U.S. 460 in Dinwiddie County, it places you within a short drive of Petersburg, Colonial Heights, and Richmond, making commutes, shopping, and dining straightforward while preserving that country pace at home.
Families appreciate the strong local school system supported by Dinwiddie County Public Schools, with programs ranging from career and technical education to competitive athletics at Dinwiddie High School. Community life revolves around fields, courts, and walking paths at the county’s well-kept Dinwiddie County Sports Complex, while readers and remote workers tap into resources at the Dinwiddie Branch Library.
Weekends offer as much fresh air or history as you like. Cast a line, launch a kayak, or picnic waterside at Lake Chesdin Park & Marina. For an immersive look at Civil War history, explore the acclaimed Pamplin Historical Park or the preserved earthworks and trails of Petersburg National Battlefield. With acreage, farms, and newer builds all in the mix, Ford supports everything from first homes to multi-generational living.
