Locust Hill is a small, scenic Middlesex County community on VA‑33 with quiet streets, bayfront access and plenty of outdoor options like fishing, kayaking and nearby historic hamlets—an easygoing, pleasant base that feels more like a peaceful retreat than a dead‑end posting.
When you want more activity, Richmond is roughly an hour’s drive (about 58 miles) and the Newport News/Williamsburg area — with airports, museums, restaurants and larger shopping — is also within about 45–60 miles, so weekend trips and access to urban amenities are convenient.
