Ettrick is home to Virginia State University and the Petersburg Amtrak train station. With a college-town vibe and convenient public transit, Ettrick is the modern, yet historic home you’ve been looking for. The majority of Ettrick is taken up by the University’s campus, filled with athletic stadiums and fields, residential halls, and educational buildings. Ettrick sits directly west of Southpark Mall along Interstate 95 where locals can find an array of retailers and restaurants. The city is only 25 miles south of Richmond, so residents can easily commute into this metro area for work or play. More dining and shopping options can be found in Ettrick’s neighboring suburb, Petersburg.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
