Where are most new construction communities located in Chesterfield County?

Many of Chesterfield County's newest developments are found in Midlothian, Moseley, Chester, and western portions of the county where growth continues. Buyers can choose from master-planned communities with walking trails, pools, clubhouses, and playgrounds, or smaller neighborhoods offering larger homesites and a quieter setting.

Builders frequently release new phases throughout the year, so inventory changes often. Some homes are move-in ready, while others can still be personalized with flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and other finishes before construction is complete.
