Townes at Notting Place

Independent Assessment

Townes at Notting Place earns its reputation as an entry-level option in Chesterfield's 55+ market: at a roughly $240,000s starting price in 2018, it undercut most new-construction competitors in the county by well over $100,000. The builder (StyleCraft Homes), home count (128), and site details are confirmed through StyleCraft's own site and a 2018 Richmond BizSense article. What remains open is current pricing: this is now a resale-only community, and current comparable sales could not be pulled to state a reliable present-day range.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers prioritizing HOPA age-restricted living and low-maintenance townhome ownership at the most accessible price point in the Richmond-area 55+ market, and who don't need resort-scale amenities, are the best fit for Townes at Notting Place.

Homes, Builders & Development History

StyleCraft Homes, a Lakeside-based Richmond-area builder, secured Chesterfield County approval for Townes at Notting Place in 2016 and opened the 128-townhome community for sales in June 2018, with an original development cost estimated around $7 million. Homes originally ranged from about 1,200 to 1,600 square feet and started in the $240,000s. The community is now fully built out.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

At its 2018 launch, Townes at Notting Place started in the $240,000s — among the most accessible new-construction 55+ price points in the Richmond metro at the time. Buyers should request current comparable sales from a local agent rather than relying on the 2018 figure, and should expect meaningfully higher prices today given both general market appreciation and the passage of time since original sale; current resale pricing was not independently confirmed.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Townes at Notting Place is now a built-out, resale-only community; StyleCraft is no longer actively selling new homes here. Buyers should budget for the maintenance realities of homes now roughly eight years old or older and should get a full home inspection, since the original builder warranty period has long since expired for the earliest-sold units.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Chesterfield County real estate tax, set at $0.89 per $100 of assessed value for FY2026 per the county's own budget documentation — the fourth consecutive annual rate reduction. Buyers should confirm this home's current assessed value directly with Chesterfield County Real Estate Assessments, and ask the HOA whether any capital contribution or special assessment is planned.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Townes at Notting Place is built on 33 acres as a compact townhome community rather than a sprawling campus, with garden plots and a shared pavilion giving it a neighborly, low-key character. This is a community built around low-maintenance, entry-level homeownership rather than an activities calendar, which sets it apart from larger, more programmed Chesterfield 55+ developments.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The community sits between Hull Street Road and Midlothian Turnpike, west of Chippenham Parkway, in North Chesterfield — a location that gives residents reasonably quick access to both the Midlothian retail corridor and downtown Richmond, without the drive time associated with communities farther out in Moseley or Chester.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Townes at Notting Place is marketed and generally reported as a 55+ HOPA-qualified community. Buyers should confirm current certification and occupancy compliance directly with the HOA before purchasing, as the recorded HOPA certification documentation was not independently pulled.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

This is a small, amenity-light community by design — garden plots, a pavilion, and walking trails rather than a clubhouse, pool, or fitness center, so buyers wanting an activities-rich lifestyle should look elsewhere in Chesterfield. Because the community is now resale-only, buyers should expect prices well above the original 2018 starting point and should verify current values through comparable sales rather than the historical figure cited.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Townes at Notting Place is most directly comparable to other accessible-price-point Chesterfield 55+ communities like Braxton and Villas at Providence, all of which trade extensive amenities for lower entry costs. Compared with larger StyleCraft-built communities in the county such as Villas at Iron Mill, Notting Place is smaller in scale, attached rather than detached, and was priced meaningfully lower at original sale.
