Why this home stands out
What sets 9747 Groundhog Drive apart is its location in the heart of the Bon Air pocket — a compact, walkable stretch of Chesterfield County where Good Foods Grocery, Trader Joe's, and half a dozen local restaurants sit within half a mile. For a 1,258-square-foot home built in 1983, the surrounding infrastructure punches well above its weight class.
ALL OTHERS AREA 143 and the Richmond real estate market
Bon Air sits in Chesterfield County, tucked against the southwestern edge of Richmond proper, and it carries a distinctly village-like personality that surprises first-time visitors. Tree-lined streets, independently owned shops, and a genuine walkable core give the area an identity that larger Richmond suburbs rarely replicate. Groundhog Drive itself feeds into this ecosystem quietly — residential and calm, but never isolated. Richmond homes for sale in this zip code tend to attract buyers who want proximity to the city without the density, and 23235 delivers exactly that balance. The broader Bon Air corridor connects quickly to Midlothian Turnpike and Huguenot Road, putting downtown Richmond, the James River parks system, and Carytown within a comfortable drive. Chesterfield County's local government services, library branches, and recreation programs round out the livability picture for anyone planting roots here.
What's nearby
Step outside and the errands practically run themselves. Good Foods Grocery and Trader Joe's are both under a mile, covering everything from a quick weeknight dinner to a full weekly shop. When you'd rather let someone else cook, The Granite Grill, Joe's Inn Bon Air, and Perk! Coffee & Lunchbox are all within half a mile — Perk doubles as a coffee stop worth building a morning ritual around. Coco + Hazel offers another local café option nearby. Fitness is just as convenient: Hot Yoga Richmond, Bon Air Yoga, and Planet Fitness cluster within 0.7 miles. Larus Park Trailhead and Woodmont Park are under a mile for weekend trail time.
