Why this home stands out
Built in 2022, this 1,974-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence brings genuine new-construction finishes to one of the Richmond metro's most talked-about waterfront corridors. You're not trading charm for modernity here — the Rocketts Landing area delivers both, with the James River practically at your doorstep and a walkable stretch of restaurants, green space, and river access that older Henrico addresses simply can't match.
ALL OTHERS AREA 150 and the Henrico real estate market
Rocketts Landing sits along the north bank of the James River in eastern Henrico County, and it has quietly become one of the region's most compelling addresses. The neighborhood blends adaptive-reuse history with contemporary development — brick and timber meet clean modern lines — and the river is always visible, always central. Old Main Street itself has the feel of a working waterfront that grew up: wide sidewalks, mixed-use energy, and neighbors who actually know each other. Henrico County provides the jurisdiction, which means county services and administration rather than the City of Richmond, a distinction that matters for taxes and governance. Downtown Richmond is roughly ten to fifteen minutes west by car, putting arts venues, sports facilities, and the broader urban core well within reach without requiring you to live in the middle of it. For anyone comparing Henrico Virginia homes for sale, this corridor offers a lifestyle that is genuinely hard to replicate elsewhere in the metro.

For different buyers
For families upgrading
At 1,974 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, this 2022-built home gives an upgrading family real room to spread out without the maintenance burden of an older property. The Rocketts Landing waterfront setting means weekends can start at the dog park or the river trail rather than a repair list — and the modern build means systems and finishes are on your side from day one.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've been scrolling past cookie-cutter subdivisions, 5260 Old Main St #A is worth a closer look.

You get all of that plus a 2022 build, which means you're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance along with the character.
