Glen Allen, Virginia
Population: 12,562
Located in Henrico County
One of Richmond's most beautiful suburbs, Glen Allen is on the eastern edge of the Piedmont, a region of gently rolling hills that gradually rise to the west where they meet the Blue Ridge Mountain range. Because the region is hilly and much of it is forested, we don't have the grand vistas you see in the Midwest and western states. But the fact that you rarely see beyond a mile or two, gives you a sense of intimacy you don't find in the vastness of a state like South Dakota or New Mexico. Not better, just different. Richmond was built on the James River. If you stand on the steps of the Virginia State Capitol you'll see the river winding its way through town to the south. It is a shallow, powerful river that is spotted with rapids throughout the city. The town of Glen Allen is roughly 100 miles south of Washington, D.C., 70 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean. The area is serviced by I-95, I-295, and I-64. Courtesy of Logic Arts Corporation
