I totally suggest close-in Hanover County -- it has EVERYTHING you are looking for... school, Catholic Church, diverse communities, and the "atlee" area is very very c;ose to your work

where in Hanover county has the good schools, as my kids are in elementary, along with good sense of community acceptance?
We'd like a good middle and HS as well.
How about Chesterfield? |

We're in Glen Allen which is Western Henrico county.
ETA: The only time we have felt uncomfortable living in Richmond as a interracial family was at an older Baptist (mainly white) church in downtown Richmond which we left (didn't feel like a good environment for our children to say the least). We've never felt uncomfortable at churches in the suburbs. |

My three children attended Pearsons, then Chickahominy Middle and two graduated Atlee High (one went to the Governors School in Richmond). I was pleased with our decision to move to Hanover for the schools.
