Midlothian

Residents of Midlothian come here and rarely or reluctantly leave. They love the Blue Ribbon Schools, modern amenities, close-knit communities, beautiful parks, and convenient access to nature, while still being within close proximity to downtown Richmond.

Today, Midlothian is known for its historic charm, outdoor activities, and vibrant community spirit. It has twice been named to Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live”, thanks to great schools, low crime and easy access to all that Greater Richmond and Central Virginia have to offer. Midlothian has been booming with new restaurants, as more local business owners are discovering the population growth and resident support.

Homeowners can find a variety of housing, including Luxury estates, a mixture of upscale & modest single family homes, townhomes and low-maintenance or 55+ communities. Buying a home in Midlothian is attractive, since families can enjoy more space, at a more reasonable price.
