How & Why We’re Building Our Presence in New Kent, VA

You don’t need to be one of the growing number of New Kent homebuilders or homebuyers to know that the ideally located county is becoming a new-construction home hotspot.

Chalk up the rise in popularity to an ideal location between Greater Richmond and Hampton Roads, easy access to the great outdoors, welcoming attractions, and even communities built to complement the county’s wide-open spaces.

New Kent homebuilders get it: people build there because they want to stretch out and be good neighbors to one another — without living on top of each other. StyleCraft Homes uniquely understands this balancing act: with the right planning and community collaboration, homebuyers’ privacy and convenience can Live Up together.

Here's a closer look at New Kent, VA’s ideal location, key features and attractions of the southeastern Virginia county, and what role StyleCraft is playing unique from other New Kent homebuilders — from the 2025 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway to breaking ground on a new estate-style home community.  

A Location New Kent Homebuilders Dig

What’s it going to be: a big weekend in the capital city spent sampling the top-shelf culinary scene, wandering through the well-curated galleries of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, capped off with some live music on the riverfront? Or maybe a relaxing weekend on the shore — complete with sandcastles, shell hunts, and beachside BBQs? And of course, right down the road, you’ll find Colonial Williamsburg’s revolutionary re-enactors, Busch Gardens’ mammoth roller coasters, and spectacles of all kinds.

In New Kent, you can have your pick of these day trips and others thanks to easy access to I-64 and U.S. 60. And with Richmond International Airport right around the corner in eastern Henrico County, it’s easy to catch a flight for adventures further afoot.

Why New Kent Lives Up

Most of your experience with New Kent, VA may involve simply driving through the county. But once you get up to speed on its growing attractions and timeless embrace of the outdoors, you’ll understand why more homebuyers are stopping and staying a while.

With popular golf courses like the Royal New Kent Golf Club, the New Kent Winery and Talleysville Brewing Company, as well as the home of the Virginia Derby — Colonial Downs Racetrack — the area is providing New Kent homebuilders plenty to tout to future residents. Additionally, Texas-based Buc-ee’s is expected to open a location in 2027 at I-64 and Route 609 — a 75,000-sq-ft. super “convenience” store with a passionate following known for its super-sized food offerings.

At the same time, New Kent is far from the hustle and bustle of its neighbors to the west and west. Flanked by the Pamunkey and Chickahominy Rivers, you don’t need to head to the James or the Atlantic Ocean to have some fun on the water. And a brisk hike or bird-watching excursion at Cumberland Marsh Natural Area Preserve quickly demonstrates that, despite increased interest from homebuilders and buyers, New Kent will stay true to its roots.

StyleCraft’s Growing Footprint in New Kent, VA

There are a number of New Kent homebuilders helping the community flourish while maintaining the important balance the area shares with its big open spaces.
