About Sandston
Sandston is a quiet, historic community in Henrico County, sitting just east of Richmond. Originally built in 1918 to house workers during World War I, the area quickly grew into a welcoming village filled with classic bungalows and craftsman cottages. Today, it offers around 8,000 residents a relaxed, small-town atmosphere while keeping them within a quick 15-minute drive of downtown Richmond.
Everyday life centers along Williamsburg Road, which connects local diners, neighborhood spots, the branch library, and Sandston Elementary School. Commuters and frequent travelers will appreciate having Richmond International Airport and major highways like I-64 right down the road, making trips across the metro area simple. For anyone searching for vintage home character, a friendly neighborhood feel, and a low-stress commute, Sandston is an easy place to settle into.
