Midlothian, Chesterfield County, Virginia 23113 and 23114

Midlothian homes, from the old coal village to the Route 288 corridor

Midlothian is where most of Debby Winall’s Chesterfield business happens. Since 1986 she has helped buyers and sellers sort out a market where a 1970s colonial near the village, a townhome off Route 60 and a new build in a planned community can all share the same Midlothian mailing address.

About Debby

Midlothian is the center of Debby’s Chesterfield practice

Roughly 60% of Debby’s transactions fall in Midlothian, Bon Air, Brandermill and Woodlake, and Midlothian carries the most volume of the four. Her career began in new construction in the Far West End and Goochland, so she reads builder contracts and subdivision phases as closely as she reads resale comps.

Builder contracts and new phases

Her early years in new construction taught her how builders price a subdivision phase by phase, which still matters in a Midlothian community that is adding sections.

Both sides of the Midlothian ZIPs

She works resale homes from the 1970s through the 1990s and newer planned communities, and prices each against its own section rather than a ZIP-wide average.

Townhomes for first purchases

First-time buyers often start with a Midlothian townhome, and she walks them through dues, reserves and association rules before they commit.

A practice built on referrals

She is not chasing volume rankings. Most clients reach her through people she has already helped, and many come back years later for the next move.

Understanding Midlothian

Midlothian began as a coal town. Miners were digging here by the early 1700s, the Wooldridge family incorporated a mining company in 1835 and gave the village its Scottish name, and coal from nearby Black Heath heated the White House for Thomas Jefferson. Getting that coal to the James River produced Virginia’s first hard-surfaced road, the turnpike that became today’s Midlothian Turnpike, and its first railroad in 1831. The mines were gone by the 1920s, and the land went back to woods and farms until the Swift Creek Reservoir brought public water in 1965 and subdivisions followed. Today the Midlothian name covers far more than the village: ZIP 23113 runs north toward the James and Route 288, while 23114 holds the older core along Route 60 and newer neighborhoods to the south. The two ZIPs price very differently, and many communities carry their own HOA covenants, so the street, the subdivision and its rules all shape what a home is worth.

The Richmond region is not a single market.

  6. Richmond Metro detached homes had a median sale price of $455,000 in Q2 2026, which sits between the two Midlothian ZIP medians.
  7. Chesterfield prices rose about 5.4% year over year in early 2026, among the fastest gains in the region.
  8. Chesterfield listings averaged roughly 50 days on market in early 2026, giving buyers more time than the city’s faster pace.

History & Heritage
  1. Midlothian produced the first commercially mined coal in North America, with mining under way by 1709.
  2. The Wooldridge family incorporated their Midlothian coal company in 1835, and the village took its name from it.
  3. Before that, maps showed the area simply as Coal Mines, and later as Coalfield, a name kept alive by Coalfield Road.
  4. Coal from the Black Heath mines near Midlothian supplied the White House during Thomas Jefferson’s presidency.
  5. During the Revolution, Midlothian coal fed the cannon foundry at Westham on the James River.
  6. The turnpike to Manchester was graveled in 1807, making it Virginia’s first hard-surfaced road and the ancestor of Midlothian Turnpike.
  7. The Chesterfield Railroad opened in 1831 as Virginia’s first railroad, running 13 miles by mule power and gravity to the James.
  8. First Baptist Church of Midlothian, founded in 1846, is recognized as Chesterfield County’s first Black church.
  9. A miner resting on a pick sits at the center of the Chesterfield County seal, a nod to these coalfields.
  10. Coalfield Station stood where Salisbury Drive meets the railroad until it was demolished in 1957.
Environmental & Geographic
  1. Midlothian lies in the Piedmont on the Richmond Basin, a rift basin holding sedimentary rock and bituminous coal.
  2. The Midlothian census-designated place sits at about 367 feet of elevation.
  3. Swift Creek and Falling Creek both rise in the Midlothian area before flowing toward the James River.
  4. Swift Creek Reservoir, created in 1965, is a major source of drinking water for Chesterfield County.
  5. The Midlothian CDP covers about 8.6 square miles, while the Midlothian mailing area spreads well beyond it.
  6. Underground workings from the coal era lie beneath parts of the historic coalfield around the village.
  7. Mature hardwoods remain common on 1970s and 1980s lots, while newer sections are often cleared and replanted.
  8. Flood risk varies street by street, so Debby pulls the FEMA map for each Midlothian address rather than assuming.
  9. The region’s four seasons include humid summers and mild winters, so HVAC age and condition matter on every inspection.
  10. The land around Midlothian is hilly and fertile Piedmont ground, cut by stream valleys feeding the James.
Lifestyle & Culture
  1. Mid-Lothian Mines Park, on the site of the earliest commercial coal mining, opened to visitors in 2004.
  2. The park preserves the stone ruins of the Grove Shaft, part of the Wooldridge family’s mining company.
  3. The 1875 Midlothian Masonic Lodge Hall and the 1870 Midlothian Public School, now a residence, still stand near Salisbury Drive.
  4. Salisbury Country Club anchors the Salisbury community, where homes from the 1970s to the 1990s sit on wooded lots.
  5. Westchester Commons and the Watkins Centre area along Route 288 gather much of western Midlothian’s shopping and dining.
  6. Independence Golf Club sits near Founders Bridge in 23113.

  3. U.S. Route 60, the Midlothian Turnpike, runs east to west through the original village.
  4. The 1988 Powhite Parkway extension and widening of Midlothian Turnpike and Hull Street Road opened the area to new subdivisions.
  5. A two-lane ramp from southbound Route 288 to westbound Route 360 opened in 2025.

  8. The Norfolk Southern line through the village follows the old Richmond and Danville Railroad route.
  9. Public water from the Swift Creek Reservoir system opened Midlothian to subdivision growth, though some larger outer parcels still rely on wells and septic.
  10. Short Pump in Henrico is reached across the James by Route 288, which makes Midlothian workable for west-side jobs.

  2. High schools serving parts of the Midlothian area include Midlothian, Clover Hill, Lloyd C. Bird, Manchester, Cosby and James River.
  3. School assignment follows the address, and attendance lines can split a single subdivision, so Debby verifies each property.
  4. The county can redraw attendance zones, so a zone listed in an old flyer may no longer apply.
  5. The 1870 Midlothian Public School building survives as a private home near the village.
  6. In 1877, First Baptist Church of Midlothian added a one-room building that became the area’s first public school for Black children.

  8. About 70% of adults 25 and older in 23113 hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, and about 57% in 23114.

  10. Buyers relocating mid-year can ask Debby to confirm the assigned schools for an address before writing an offer.

Questions

Midlothian questions, answered

What is the difference between 23113 and 23114?

ZIP 23113 has a median owner-estimated value of $614,100 and a median build year of 1992. ZIP 23114 sits at $409,100 with a median build year of 2001 and a larger share of townhomes.

Do most Midlothian homes have an HOA?

Many planned communities do, and older subdivisions near the village often do not. Debby confirms the association, its dues and its rules for every home before you make an offer.

What should I check in an HOA before buying?

Look at the reserve funding, the current budget, recent meeting minutes and any special assessments. Debby looks for reserves funded near 70% of the cost of expected major repairs.

Which schools serve a Midlothian address?

Chesterfield County Public Schools assigns schools by address, and attendance lines can split a single subdivision. Debby confirms the current assignment for each property directly with the school division.

How much are property taxes in Midlothian?

The 2026 Chesterfield rate is $0.89 per $100 of assessed value. A home assessed at $500,000 would owe about $4,450 a year before any HOA dues.

Can I still buy new construction in Midlothian?

Yes. Several communities are still adding sections. Debby reviews the builder contract, the lot premium and the phase pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for.
