Twin Hickory, VA Real Estate Guide
Twin Hickory, Virginia
Twin Hickory is the West End community that answers the question “where can I get a newer home, a sidewalk, a pool, and Deep Run schools without a golf club bill?” Built mostly from the late 1990s through the 2000s off Nuckols Road and Twin Hickory Road, it is Wyndham’s more practical neighbor, and one of the most consistently in-demand zip codes in Henrico.
Source: Redfin, Twin Hickory (Short Pump) neighborhood data for the three months ending June 2026, retrieved September 6, 2026. Redfin’s Twin Hickory boundary includes a large share of the community’s townhomes and condos, which pulls the median below what a detached home typically sells for here. Mission Realty is adding a Twin Hickory boundary to its own MLS feed so this block can update monthly.
Where Twin Hickory is
Twin Hickory occupies the land between Nuckols Road and Pouncey Tract Road in western Henrico, north of Interstate 64, with Glen Allen mailing addresses (zip 23059). Twin Hickory Lake and the park around it sit at the center; Twin Hickory Elementary and the Henrico library branch are inside the community. Short Pump Town Center is a few minutes south, Innsbrook’s offices a few minutes east, and Interstate 295 gives a straight shot north to Ashland or east toward the airport. The location is the product: most buyers here are optimizing for a commute to Innsbrook or downtown, Deep Run schools, and a house built after 1998.
The sections, by what they are for
Single-family sections
Colonials and transitionals on modest lots, most with two-car garages, built by the regional production builders of the era. This is the core of the community and the product most buyers are shopping for.
Townhomes and condos
A significant share of Twin Hickory is attached: townhomes near the lake and along the main roads, plus the condo buildings at The Pointe. These are how first-time buyers and downsizers get into the zone under the detached price.
Homes around Twin Hickory Lake
The park, the trails, and the water views. Lake-adjacent lots carry a premium and rarely sit.
Later phases toward Pouncey Tract
Built into the 2000s with more open plans and, in some cases, basements. Smaller lots for newer systems, the same trade as everywhere in the West End.
HOA and what ownership costs
Twin Hickory has a community-wide homeowners association that covers the pools, the clubhouse, tennis, playgrounds, and common-area maintenance, with separate sub-associations for some townhome and condo sections that add exterior maintenance and, in the condos, a master-policy insurance component. Dues vary by section, so ask for the exact figure for the exact address, plus the most recent reserve study. Henrico’s tax rate is one of the lowest in the region; see Real estate tax rates across the Richmond metro in 2026 for the current number.
Market snapshot
Twin Hickory turns over steadily because it has a lot of homes and a lot of first-move-up buyers. The headline median looks lower than Wyndham or Short Pump because attached homes are a large share of what sells here. A detached Twin Hickory home typically trades well above the blended median.

Schools and zoning
Twin Hickory addresses are typically zoned to Twin Hickory Elementary (inside the community), Short Pump Middle, and Deep Run High School. The elementary school and the library on the same campus are a big part of why families choose Twin Hickory over neighborhoods with a similar house at a similar price.

Buying in Twin Hickory
Know your sub-association. Detached, townhome, and condo sections have different dues and different rules. The condo sections also carry a master insurance policy that affects your own coverage and your lender’s requirements.
Twenty-five-year-old systems. Much of Twin Hickory was built between 1998 and 2006. Roofs, HVAC, and water heaters are the inspection items that move price here.
The lake premium is real and specific. A view of the water and a walk to the park are worth money on resale; a lot that simply borders the main road is not. Look at what each comparable actually backed to.
Selling in Twin Hickory
You are competing with many similar floor plans. What separates a Twin Hickory listing is condition and clarity: updated mechanicals disclosed up front, the HOA and sub-association figures stated plainly, the school assignment confirmed and printed, and photography that shows the lake and the park if you are near them. Homes that do those four things sell at list in the first two weeks; homes that do not become the comparable everyone else prices against.
