Situated on 600 acres, this community is located near Route 288 and is extremely accessible from the Midlothian and Richmond area. Established in 2001, Founders Bridge features rolling hills, sprawling woods, and beautiful homes.

Founders Bridge is built around an 18-hole golf course, Independence Golf Club, which was designed by a professional golf course architect, Tom Fazio. Once fully complete, Founders Bridge will have approximately 400 homes.
