Henrico County

Due to the geography in which the James River approaches Richmond from almost due west, and turns almost due south below the fall line for about 8 miles before turning east again, the land within Henrico County currently encompasses much of Metropolitan Richmond’s West End, its North Side, and East End areas.

Henrico County VA Real Estate

With smaller lots, the majority of the housing is two-story in order to maximize square footage on the smaller lot sizes. Short Pump is located in Henrico County and it’s one of the fastest growing communities in the Richmond area.
