Covering Richmond’s Southside neighborhoods of Westover Hills, Forest Hill, Woodland Heights, and Stratford Hills, 23225 blends streetcar-era charm with mid-century ranches on leafy hills above the James. Expect a humid subtropical climate—hot summers, mild winters—and a river-centric lifestyle anchored by Forest Hill Park, the James River Park System’s Reedy Creek and Buttermilk trailheads, and the South of the James Farmers Market. Daily life revolves around Forest Hill Avenue and Semmes: coffee at Crossroads or Café Zata, bites at Little Nickel or O’Toole’s, and a pint at The Veil Brewing (Forest Hill). Groceries are convenient with Publix at Stratford Hills and a Walmart Supercenter on Sheila Lane, plus indie shops and yoga/fitness studios nearby. It’s family- and pet-friendly, with dog-welcoming patios, playgrounds, and greenways; commuters appreciate quick access to the Nickel Bridge, Powhite and Chippenham Parkways, and the Downtown Expressway, keeping Carytown and downtown close. Per recent Zillow Rental Manager trends, the median rent sits around $1,600, with typical listings roughly $1,200–$2,300+.
