Find Westover Hills neighborhood updates, civic contacts, schools, recreation resources and address-level property research in Richmond.
Start with the neighborhood
Westover Hills is a southwest Richmond community established in 1924, according to its neighborhood association. The association has operated since 1978 and provides a forum for residents, neighborhood updates and a newsletter. Read the current issue and meeting notice to learn what neighbors are discussing now.
Meet neighbors and follow local projects
Use the Westover Hills Neighborhood Association’s updates for community gatherings and its meeting information for participation details. Check the date and location of the particular announcement before going. Seasonal stories can remain online after an event has passed; an old newsletter is useful background rather than a current schedule.
Research a home and its daily connections
Compare the exact address with your regular destinations and the entrances to the parks or facilities you intend to use. Check walking routes, crossings, parking and current access information. For services and property questions, use Richmond City records below. Nearby Forest Hill and Woodland Heights have their own guides and should not be treated as interchangeable neighborhood names.
Places to know in and around Westover Hills
Use Westover Hills Library for community programs and the neighborhood association for local updates. Forest Hill Park and Westover Community Center are nearby options for a longer outing beyond the commercial strip.
Forest Hill Park
4021 Forest Hill Avenue
A useful outdoor anchor for this side of the river. Plan your walk from an actual entrance and choose the route for your group; a map outline does not tell you whether a particular path is level or suitable for a stroller.
Westover Community Center
1301 Jahnke Road
A nearby City recreation contact beyond the neighborhood commercial strip. Look up the exact facility when comparing classes, since the community center and Westover Hills Library have separate calendars.
Westover Hills Library
1408 Westover Hills Boulevard
A practical community stop for borrowing, research or a scheduled program. Use the branch calendar below to check the actual location, age group and registration requirements; a library program is a separate plan from a park or shopping visit.
Check the exact river or park access you intend to use. The library, community center and park have separate locations; choose a meeting point before sending someone a general neighborhood map.
Schools and enrollment
Public school division: Richmond Public Schools. Use the full residential address and the relevant school year to check elementary, middle and high school assignments. A nearby school, postal city or neighborhood name does not establish eligibility.
RPS enrollment and school locator · Regional enrollment guide
For enrollment help, contact enrollrps@rvaschools.net. The RPS enrollment page includes the school directory; check the school’s own contact page after confirming the address assignment.
School contacts to start your research
These are nearby or area-relevant public school contacts, not a list of schools assigned to every home here and not a guaranteed feeder pattern. Confirm the exact address with the division before relying on a school name.
Check the current school-year boundary, transportation and enrollment requirements with the division. A nearby school is a research contact, not an assurance of admission for a particular address.
Civic information and local services
Local government: City of Richmond. Start with the exact address to find the responsible council or supervisor district and its current contact information. Civic districts and school attendance boundaries answer different questions. Use the locality’s own meeting, planning and service pages for current decisions.
Find your Richmond City Council district · Utilities, trash and service contacts
Council meetings, agendas and minutes. Read the agenda for the specific meeting and check the public-comment instructions before attending. Neighborhood associations and HOAs are separate from the local government; verify membership boundaries and contacts with the organization.
Before choosing an address
- Confirm the parcel’s locality, service providers and applicable neighborhood or HOA rules.
- Check the actual route to school, work, parks and everyday errands at the times you would travel.
- Use the property records linked below for assessment and zoning research; keep those figures separate from the dated market-value estimate.
Local contacts and practical decisions
The Westover Hills Neighborhood Association publishes neighborhood updates and meeting information. Confirm the current meeting notice before attending. City service requests, school assignments and property review remain separate from association membership.
Home values and property research
Broader-area housing context: $365,737 — Zillow’s typical home-value index for Richmond City, September 2026. View the source and its geography.
ZHVI estimates typical home value; it is not the average asking price, median closed-sale price or a tax assessment. The publisher’s geography may differ from the area covered by this guide. This figure is broader context, not a measured average for this district or corridor. No verified average for this guide’s exact boundary is claimed.

Parks, sports and activities
Use City of Richmond recreation resources to compare programs and facilities, then confirm the venue, registration, age range and current availability with the organizer. A nearby facility is not a guarantee of public access or a place on a team.
Official parks and recreation resources · Sports, camps and lessons · Compare private sports lessons
Richmond library branches and hours. Use the branch’s current listing for hours, closure notices, room availability and program registration.
Food, music and an evening out
Plan a meal along your chosen Forest Hill Avenue route and verify the business entrance. If combining dinner with music, use a dated venue listing and allow time for the separate trip rather than assuming the river paths are an evening connection.

- Westover Hills Library — 1408 Westover Hills Boulevard
Richmond library branches and current hours · Branch calendars and programs. Check the branch, age group, registration requirements and current opening notices before making plans. These are suggested branches, not a claim about the nearest library to every address.
