Lyndhurst, VA

Lyndhurst is an Augusta County census-designated place with 1,554 residents at the 2020 census, part of the Staunton–Waynesboro micropolitan area. It sits in the county’s South River District, where U.S. 340, Lyndhurst Road, and smaller farm roads meet the edge of the Shenandoah Valley. There is no incorporated town center to point to; locals locate Lyndhurst through the roads, the South River crossings, and the nearby communities of Waynesboro and Stuarts Draft.

That road-and-river setting still shapes the area’s current decisions. Augusta County planning documents identify the Lyndhurst/Route 340 corridor for community development and utility planning, while the county’s larger map reaches from the South River and working farms toward the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah National Park. Day-to-day services run through Augusta County, with Staunton and Waynesboro supplying the larger stores, workplaces, and institutions. Lyndhurst’s local character is in that in-between position: a named rural community close enough to the cities to use their orbit, yet defined by valley roads, farmland, and the river.
