We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Nightlife is 'very limited but if you're raising a family, why would you care about that?' Nothing says peak entertainment like asking your neighbors if they want to have a playdate while watching kids splash in one of your many community pools. The pools are packed, neighbors chat on Adirondack chairs and the evenings end with fireworks — because apparently this is what passes for Vegas in Chesterfield County.
Residents pay a fee to join the Woodlake Community Association, gaining access to the area's facilities and events because nothing screams authentic community like literally purchasing your neighbor relationships. All summer long there's a Makers Market, which other people call a farmer's market or a crafts fair — imagine being so isolated from reality you have to rename basic suburban amenities to sound special.
The neighborhood is a short drive from Richmond which makes working there convenient however, rush-hour traffic can be a nightmare — nothing like paying a fat Midlothian mortgage to sit in traffic for an hour each way to your actual job. You're basically funding a lakefront lifestyle to watch other people's boats while you're stuck on the road contemplating your life choices.
Residents can dine at diverse restaurants nearby — because when you're living the dream life, apparently it involves strip mall takeout and a pizza joint that sounds like it was named by someone who's never been to Italy. For dessert, they go to the local treat shop, peer into the clear case and choose from the sugary options — truly the pinnacle of sophisticated suburban dining.
