Suburban Neighborhood in Glen Allen, Virginia
Hanover County 23005, 23059
Whether homebuyers are seeking the privacy of the country, contemporary community living or a combination of both, Elmont has the perfect balance. Sitting between the Central Virginia suburbs of Ashland and Glen Allen, this residential Henrico County community offers a quiet atmosphere north of Richmond's city limits. "It's convenient but still rural," says Dara Nicely, a listing agent with Hometown Realty in Elmont. "You have some space, but it's still close to interstates."
Single-story brick ranch-styles, Craftsman-style new constructions, Colonial revivals and townhouses comprise the neighborhood, spread out amid the community's farmland. Newer constructions include large custom homes in planned subdivisions like Chickahominy Falls, a unique agri-community for the 55-plus crowd. Chickahominy Falls offers an array of homes that include large, single-family dwellings, with single-level townhomes and villas in the newest areas. The subdivision features a community center, but the main star is Woodside Farms, which produces fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers. The community boasts of being connected to nature, health and wellness. Meanwhile, The Barn is a gathering place for private parties and catered events, with a professional demonstration kitchen. Home prices in the area range from $145,000 for a condo in the Stony Point Condominiums to $880,700 for a newly constructed custom home in the Chickahominy Falls community.

The Chickahominy River, which sits at the community's southern edge, and Stony Run, a stream that runs through the area, provide ample fishing opportunities for local anglers. Those who enjoy a more fast-paced pastime will love having Capital City Speedway close at hand. The speedway features weekly dirt-track go-kart racing throughout the year. Meanwhile, Hanover Sports Park offers fun activities like a heated driving range, a miniature golf course and batting cages.
Along Washington Highway, locals will find James River Cellars Winery, a neighborhood favorite. The winery features a tasting room open seven days a week. Indoor seating is available, but many opt to enjoy their wine out on the grounds. Those who prefer beer will have plenty of options to choose from. Center of the Universe Brewing Co., located just off I-95, is a family-run microbrewery popular among craft beer enthusiasts. Part of the Kings Charter Shopping Center, Industrial Taphouse and Kreggers Tap and Table are restaurants specializing in classic American fare and beverages. Various eateries anchor the shopping center, along with a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Other retail options include Green Top Hunt Fish and Bass Pro Shops, both outdoor sporting goods stores that serve this primarily rural community.
Elmont residents benefit from easy access to Interstate 95 and US Highway 1, with the two major roads bisecting the community. Commuting to nearby cities is made simple, with Richmond and Ashland both nearby. A car is a must in this area, as public transportation is not readily available.
