For everyday needs, the Randolph Market is about a 3.5-mile drive, providing convenient grocery shopping options. Book lovers will appreciate the proximity of the Enon Library, part of the Chesterfield County Public Library system, located about 6 miles away.
The neighborhood's historical significance is evident in nearby attractions such as City Point, where General Ulysses S. Grant established his headquarters during the Civil War.

Accessible location with regional connections
While Anchor Point is situated in an area that primarily caters to car owners, there are transportation options available for residents.
