What This Community Is Built For
Villas at Virginia Center is designed for one specific buyer profile: someone who wants true lock-and-leave living with an age-restricted community, outdoor pool access, and an HOA that handles everything outside the front door — without paying for a golf simulator, wine room, or full-time Lifestyle Director.
At 72 homes, the community is genuinely intimate. The attached home structure — patio homes and condos, not freestanding detached — means shared walls but also shared responsibility, with the HOA managing exterior upkeep across all units consistently.
HOA Coverage (Confirm Current Documents)
- Exterior home maintenance
- Lawn care and landscaping
- Snow removal
- Outdoor pool and patio
- Common area maintenance
- Community social events calendar
This coverage makes Virginia Center functionally comparable to CrossRidge’s exterior maintenance promise — at a much smaller scale and almost certainly a lower absolute HOA dollar amount given the smaller amenity footprint.
Location: Virginia Center Commons Corridor
The community sits just north of Richmond near Brook Road at the Virginia Center Commons area — one of Henrico’s commercial clusters with JCPenney, Burlington, and nearby Publix and Target. It’s not the Short Pump high-end shopping corridor, but daily convenience is covered without a car trip beyond 5 minutes. Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital is accessible via Brook Road.
Small Community Due Diligence
72 homes is a small HOA. The reserve fund accumulates slowly, and a single major capital expense — pool resurfacing, roof replacement across units, parking lot repair — can represent a material per-unit cost. The age of the community (homes built from around 1998) means some capital reserves should have accumulated, but verify before assuming.
Is Virginia Center the Right Scale for You?
72 homes means a very different social experience than CrossRidge at 746. We can help you assess whether the intimate scale, lower price point, and HOA coverage model fit your situation.
