Westham blends riverfront scenery with everyday convenience, set along the James River at the western edge of Richmond in the heart of Henrico County. Streets curve beneath mature tree canopies and classic mid-century and colonial-style homes, while the nearby University of Richmond adds energy, walking paths around Westhampton Lake, and year-round performances at the acclaimed Modlin Center for the Arts. Commuters enjoy easy access via River Road and the Huguenot Bridge, and quick trips to local shops and dining in close-by Tuckahoe.
Families value educational options through Henrico County Public Schools, with many homes served by well-regarded campuses such as Tuckahoe Elementary School and Douglas S. Freeman High School. Outdoor enthusiasts gravitate to the James River for kayaking and paddleboarding; the city’s James River Park System is minutes away at Huguenot Flatwater, offering calm water access and scenic shoreline. Weekends can be as low-key as a picnic along River Road or as engaging as a lecture, gallery visit, or game day on the University of Richmond campus.
With its established feel, strong schools, and direct connection to culture and the river, Westham offers a lifestyle that appeals to long-time residents and newcomers alike.
