Close-Knit Community, Growing Families: Thrive in New Kent

About New Kent

New Kent gives you what's becoming rare: space. Real space. Room for a home that's truly yours—with privacy, land, and a rural lifestyle that still connects you to Richmond. Build here and you're choosing acreage over density, character over convenience.

Why New Kent

New Kent County represents a different choice. You're 30-40 minutes from Downtown Richmond, but in that distance, you gain room to breathe. Estates with actual acreage. Neighborhoods where neighbors aren't close enough to count windows. A place where your custom home becomes the centerpiece of genuine rural living.

What matters most:

• Land & privacy: Larger homesites and estate properties—build on your terms with space to spare

• Rural character: Open countryside with rolling hills, tree-lined roads, and agricultural heritage

• Outdoor access: Crawfords State Forest, Chickahominy and Pamunkey River access with fishing and scenic trails

• Wine Country appeal: Nearby vineyards and farm-to-table dining experiences

• Reasonable commute: 30-40 minutes to Downtown Richmond via Route 60 and I-64

• Natural beauty: Historic landscapes, forests, and genuine countryside living

• Tax advantages: Agricultural use valuations and rural living incentives
