Highland Springs has improved quite a bit over the last few years. The number of police and crime has decreased and I have noticed a significant increase in calm and serenity in the area since the new school has started to be built. While the area is still not perfect, I enjoy living here.
I've lived here most of my life. Small crime is an issue. The school systems are generally pretty bad and they haven't done a lot to make changes to that. That said, if you have children and want to push them through school with sports, that program has done pretty well. Also the tech program at the high school is good. Generally, I would avoid moving to this area with younger children.
Highland Springs is a forgotten bit of Henrico County, located about 15 minutes from the city of Richmond. It gets very little attention compared to the West End of Henrico and it shows. There is a small amount of construction going on nearby to add to shopping options, but for more choices you must venture elsewhere in the counties or to the city. Within the town limits, most vacant business zoned buildings get filled up "churches" before anyone could think about trying for a small business loan. However, I've spent most of my life here so to me it's a comfortable, somewhat quiet, laid back, and pleasantly diverse place to be. It's much more affordable than the city and a lot less up tight than the surrounding suburbs. The main road through town has a lot of potential and I'd love to see more of a sense of community here, but sadly I think we all often feel forgotten.
