Welcome to Henrico Co. (Eastern / Highland Springs)

Eastern Henrico County—including the historic Highland Springs area—is a richly layered region that blends small-town roots with modern opportunity. Founded in the 1890s when Edmund S. Read laid out the community as a street-car suburb of Richmond, Highland Springs retains a remarkable diversity of architecture: everything from modest early 20th-century Craftsman and Queen Anne homes to post-World-War II ranches and mid-century Minimal-Traditional builds. 
 
Today, the region’s housing stock spans these historic homes and more recent subdivisions, offering a range of entry-points to ownership—from character-rich modest residences to larger homes on deeper lots. The streets are lined with mature trees, and many lots reflect the modest scales of their historic era, lending a warm, approachable charm while remaining close to city amenities.
 
Residents benefit from convenient access to retail and services along Nine Mile Road, White Oak Village shopping center, and surrounding corridors, while outdoor amenities abound with parks, trailheads—such as the Capital Trail’s eastern segments—and river-front access near the James River. Health-care facilities, including major clinics and hospital services, are within easy drive thanks to the region’s connectivity via I-64, I-295 and nearby Richmond International Airport.
 
Family-oriented education options are served by the Henrico County Public Schools district, with local catches like Highland Springs High School and nearby middle and elementary schools. Private-school alternatives are also accessible for families seeking additional choice.
 
For buyers seeking a neighborhood where historic character, tree-lined streets and a strong sense of place meet accessibility and value, eastern Henrico County offers an inviting, diverse canvas for comfortable and connected living.
