Gogo's take on Wyndham
“Go. Wyndham is an exceptionally peaceful and affluent master-planned community in Henrico County offering some of the lowest crime levels in the Richmond metropolitan area. Visitors will experience a quiet, manicured suburban environment with virtually no safety concerns. Having a personal vehicle is essential as the neighborhood is exclusively residential.”
About the area
Wyndham is a master-planned golf community centered around The Dominion Club in northwestern Henrico County. It features quiet residential cul-de-sacs, lush greenery, scenic lakes, and upscale single-family homes. While purely residential within its borders, it lies just minutes north of the extensive retail and dining centers of Short Pump.
