Bon Air gives its residents the best of both worlds! Only a short commute from downtown Richmond, the area offers convenience to many of the cities’ amenities, but stills allows you to call a place home away from the hustle and bustle. If you’re an adventure fanatic or just love the outdoors, then this is the perfect area for you. Locals love to go to the Pony Pasture Park and take advantage of the hiking, bird watching, and rock-climbing. The favorite part about the park though is the James River, where everyone loves to go swimming, canoeing, and some say it’s the best fishing spot in the area. In your downtime, you can go to the top rated golf course nearby or even to the local brewery. Not to mention there’s many boutiques and a mall area to go do some retail therapy.
Chesterfield County School District and Richmond City School District are the two school districts that Bon Air residents are a part of. One of the local high schools, James River HS, is very highly rated and loved by not only the students and parents, but the staff as well. These school districts excel in challenging students and providing many programs for different interests. Locals also have a very easy commute to downtown Richmond and other areas using the Midlothian Turnpike or Powhite Parkway. Bon Air has it all no matter the age or type of person. You can’t ask for much more to make it the perfect city to call home!
