Learn moreWyndham -- golf-course, upscale living
Wyndham is the premier golf-course community in the Short Pump area, located off Nuckols Road, anchored by the private Dominion Club at Wyndham (an 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, dining, tennis, swimming, and fitness facilities). Homes here run larger and more upscale than surrounding subdivisions, with lot sizes from a quarter acre to over an acre and custom-built finishes -- the highest-end option documented in this CDP (Nest Realty, retrieved 2026-08-24).
Twin Hickory -- dense, family-oriented, walkable to its own amenities
Twin Hickory is family-oriented enough that kids can bike to the library, the YMCA, and their elementary school without crossing a major road. It has its own small town center with shops, restaurants, a Food Lion grocery store, and a CVS Pharmacy, plus multiple pools and frequent neighborhood events -- a genuinely different, more day-to-day-amenity-focused character than Wyndham's golf-course exclusivity.
West Broad Village -- the walkable, mixed-use option
West Broad Village is the most urbanist option in Short Pump -- a mixed-use, walkable community along West Broad Street near the I-64 interchange, described by local real estate coverage as the closest thing to "city living" available in the Henrico suburbs.
Choosing among them
Buyers wanting golf-course exclusivity and larger lots should look toward Wyndham; families prioritizing walkable, bikeable day-to-day amenities and a strong sense of community should look toward Twin Hickory; buyers wanting a walkable, mixed-use, more urban lifestyle without leaving Henrico County should look toward West Broad Village. All three zone into the same top-ranked Henrico County schools documented on the schools-families topic page.
