Willow Oaks pairs leafy streets and mid-century ranches with quick access to the James River on Richmond’s Southside. Moments from Forest Hill, Stratford Hills, and Westover Hills, residents are close to the trails, overlooks, and boat launches of the James River Park System, a local treasure managed by the city’s parks department. Weekend routines often include a loop around the lake at Forest Hill Park or a stroll through the South of the James Market, where local vendors, food trucks, and live music anchor a lively community scene.
Golf, tennis, and social events are minutes away at Willow Oaks Country Club, while everyday errands and dining are convenient along the Stratford Hills corridor. Commuters appreciate time-saving connections via the Powhite Parkway and Chippenham Parkway, and transit riders can tap GRTC service for direct links to downtown and the VCU Medical Center.
Families value access to Richmond Public Schools, with many homes zoned to Southampton Elementary, Lucille M. Brown Middle, and Huguenot High (attendance zones can change; check the latest information). The neighborhood’s mix of single-level ranches and expanded two-stories, generous yards, and quiet cul-de-sacs appeals to first-time buyers and long-time Richmonders alike.
