Powhatan |
|
Located to the west of Chesterfield
County, Powhatan offers a more rural lifestyle with farms, horses, and large
lot neighborhoods. Route 288 which is scheduled to be completed in 2003 will
open large areas to both residential development and commercial parks.
Powhatan's scenery is hilly and park like with many ponds and streams on larger
parcels. Approximately 30 to 45 minutes to the downtown area makes this area a
great stopping off place for your family. The feel when shopping in country
stores gives you the idea that you are on vacation. The new development
consists of new retail, large grocery stores, and new office parks. Here you
will find most homes sites from 1 acre and up. Some of my favorite areas are
Greywalls, Sherwood, Spencerwood, Red Lane, Norwood Creek, Saint Marys, Shadow
Creek, Fine Creek Farms, King William Woods, Genito West, Fighting Creek Farms,
Millwood Plantation, Chestnut Oaks, Huguenot Hundred, The Grange, Walkers Ridge
and Dorset. |

Located to the west of Henrico is
another beautiful area. Goochland Blends the rural and park like feeling
blending both commercial and residential development. Some of the top corporate
headquarters are located in the West Creek Commercial Park with hundreds of
acres for future offices to be built. West Creek is an award winning area that
blends tons of landscaping, trees, and creeks that works well to make the
corporate environment very natural and park like. Some of the areas that I like
are Deerfield, The Meadows at Joe Brooks Farm, Fox Downs, Dover Run, Broad Run,
Fairway Estates, Sycamore Creek, Manakin Trace, Kimberwicke, Manakin Sabot,
Crozier, Greenbriar, Hillcrest, Auburn Chase, Goose Point, Meadows at Manakin,

Selling Your Home >Your Selling Strategy
Have your housing needs expanded along with your income? Are you are thinking about selling your property and looking for a new home? The transition can be accomplished smoothly by using a systematic approach.
As part of your selling strategy, it is advantageous to have your present house under contract before you begin a serious search for a new home. This will make you attractive to sellers in two ways. You won't have to include a contingency in your offer to cover the sale of your present home. You will strengthen your negotiating position by improving your financial circumstance with an accepted offer. In a situation where there are multiple offers on the new home, the chances of your offer being accepted are better if it isn't dependent on selling another house before you can make a move.
