Designed in 1926, Windsor Farms is one of Richmond's earliest planned neighborhoods, modeled after an English village, with winding streets and English-inspired names like Dover, Canterbury, Berkshire, and so on.

Its Farms borders are described by Cary Street Road to the north, the Downtown Expressway to the east, the James River and several areas to the south, and the neighborhoods of Lockgreen and Westmoreland Place to the west.

Another is "The Oaks" which was built by Benjamin Harrison IV in 1745 and moved from nearby Amelia County, Virginia, in 1927.

Several high-end, architecturally significant houses were designed by Virginia-born Duncan Lee and William Lawrence Bottomley of New York.

Dover road, is a divided revenue which serves as the main thoroughfare that connects the eastern and western ends of the community together.
