"We've lived here for 14 years. One of the best neighborhoods in Richmond. Walking distance to Richmond's best weekend farmers market. Walking distance to restaurants, library, drug store. New brewery coming soon. Great neighbors."

"I've lived here 27 years. Very low crime area. Very walkable. Great neighbors, active neighborhood association, safe to walk at night. Forest Hill Park is wonderful with events, tennis courts, South of the James Farmer's Market."

"Just moved into the area with my fiance and we couldnt be happier. Neighborhoods are quiet and peaceful and neighbors are friendly and outgoing. Forrest Hill park is a major destination along with James river park access. Only drawback for us is it can be a little lacking on the food and shopping side. But being just a 5 minute drive from both the fan and downtown its not that big of a deal. Love living in the Westover/Forrest Hill area!"

This is the private school for people who never expected to choose private school. It is so welcoming, warm, progressive, and low-key with actual racial and socioeconomic diversity. My son has flourished here and two weeks into summer break is already talking about when he can go back to school. He came to kindergarten feeling anxious and not completely comfortable socially and is now thriving in every way imaginable. The outdoor education is an amazing bonus. We love Good Shepherd so much.
