The Legend at Walnut Hill

Set on Petersburg’s south side, 23805 blends historic character with suburban calm. Tree-lined streets frame Lee Memorial Park and Willcox Lake’s trails and fishing spots, while nearby Petersburg National Battlefield earthworks anchor a deep sense of place. Expect a humid subtropical climate—warm summers, mild winters—and a friendly, family- and pet-welcoming vibe. Daily needs are easy along South Crater Road with Walmart Supercenter, Food Lion, and longtime favorites like King’s Famous Barbecue, plus Starbucks and more cafes a few minutes north near Southpark Mall, where you’ll also find big-box shopping and gyms like Crunch Fitness and Planet Fitness. Commuters appreciate quick access to I-95, I-85, US-301, and Route 460, and weekends lean toward park picnics, antiquing, and short hops to Old Towne’s arts and dining. The community includes long-time locals, hospital staff at Southside Medical Center, military-connected households near Fort Gregg-Adams, and students from Virginia State University and Richard Bland College. According to Zillow’s Rental Manager market trends in recent months, median asking rent sits in the low $1,200s, with most listings ranging from the high $900s to the mid-$1,500s.
