Loving Westover 4 rating By RVA_WestoverResident ( Jun 26, 2013) I recently moved to Boroughbridge Road in Westover and LOVE it. It is a beautiful neighborhood with nice sized backyards. The neighbors are great and it is an neighborhood full of diversity. There are quite a few houses at a very reasonable price and more families are moving in e ...Read More very day. I really think it is growing to be one of the more interesting and upcoming middle income neighborhoods in Richmond. It is one of the only places in which you can find a nice home, with a yard, close to the city. In spite of what some crime reports may say it has been a very safe and supportive environment.

Short walk from: a few restaurants, two schools, a library, a book store, asian grocer, and a community garden
Short bike ride from: Pony pasture, the river in general, Maymont, Carytown
Short drive from: A GIANT Kroger grocery center, Korean and South American restaurants, lots of Midlothian Tnpk shopping Read Less
