I’ve lived in Bon Air for 3 years and it is a great place to live. It is very accessible to all parts of the Richmond metro area, a short drive to Short Pump or downtown.
One reviewer said there is crime, well, there is crime everywhere. If you look at Bon Air on crime nexus or other reporting site, it has some of the lowest crime in Metro Richmond and Chesterfield. Most of the crime is centralized towards Jahnke road and East of Chippenham Hospital. Bon Air is very safe.
If we’re comparing accessibility, Bon Air is central to most of what you’d want to see in and around Richmond. It is also growing rapidly with Grocers such as Wegman’s, Lidls, Costco and Sam’s Club right on the border with other retail. Just North of Bon Air is the James River with access to many river activities. Most of Chesterfield County’s community events are also mostly localized in or very near Bon Air.
Overall, excellent place to live!

Although I didn't live there for too long, I had a good experience with Bon Air. The neighborhood is safe and it's easy to walk around, except if you're looking for a safe way to navigate past the community pool or Baptist church and its subsequent stores. The stores are also all right, but our favorites went out of business so there's not much that I find interesting about the area anymore besides the shops off of Huguenot (including the Einstein's Bagels)
Bon Air is a decent neighborhood with older style homes. Neighbors are very friendly and welcoming. There are great schools in the area and plenty of activities to do with the family.
