WHERE DO YOU WANT TO LIVE?
While the Roanoke Region boasts competitively low cost living and housing prices, there is no shortage of housing choices and great neighborhoods. From rural farm land and old country roads to metropolitan living in luxury downtown apartments, the Roanoke Region has it all. You may choose an old neighborhood or waterfront living, a downtown apartment or countryside seclusion, but you'll always have the same next door neighbor: the Blue Ridge Mountains. See apartment listings here. See housing listings at the Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors.
COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME
In the Roanoke Region, it does not take long to get off the beaten path. Surrounded by the mountains, off a country road, you will find yourself in nature in no time.
From old farmhouses to secluded palaces, the options are truly endless. Welcome to the scenic beauty of the Roanoke Region.
DOWNTOWN, NO FINER PLACE FOR SURE
From a distance you can see the city skyline at night, the building facades illuminated, breathing life into the former railroad boomtown's past. Once inside, the City is as adventurous as you are. As police on horseback stroll through the crowds, open restaurant doors spill music into the streets. And, of course, when it is time for bed, you are only steps away from your modern downtown apartment.
Quickly becoming one of the most popular places to live, downtown Roanoke provides everything you need within walking distance. From the historic Farmer's Market to a surplus of arts and cultural activities, where you can walk to your job and walk to the theater, downtown is a place for experiences.

LEND ME SOME SUGAR, I AM YOUR NEIGHBOR
Old neighborhoods reflect a not-so distant past. Homes congregate on city blocks, like they have been for over a century, surrounding historic village centers where everybody gets stuck in conversation. Great schools are always around the corner, and Church bells ring each hour into action.
These are the neighborhoods where your neighbor comes by to chat while the children play soccer in front of the old Fire Station. At the village center you can find a pharmacy and grocery, restaurants and boutiques. Where the smells that remind you of childhood permeate, these neighborhoods are always home.
NOT TOO CLOSE, NEVER TOO FAR AWAY
In between urban adventures and outdoor opportunities, there are neighborhoods winding the base of the mountains. School rivalries are permanent among friends from ages past. It is a suburban paradise that no other region can offer; a safe haven inside a comforting mountain range that is welcoming to all who pass. Children explore miniature forests behind well-kept backyards, and the smell of barbeque drifts with the spring breeze inviting neighbors to come and join.
Homes are palaces sitting neatly among the streets, and front yards are vast territories where the dogs come out and play. Everybody prepares for the Friday night football game, a friendly competition between members of the same community. Affordable, safe, and schools where teachers are friends, the suburbs of the Roanoke Region has no definite end. A short commute is complimented by an intimate neighborhood community. You are never too close, and never too far away.
DROP ME IN THE WATER
Imagine a morning where the sun rises behind the mountains and sheds light onto a placid lake. A fisherman's boat quietly patters across the surface, disappearing behind the trees as he retreats into a cove. From your back porch you hear your own boat anxiously tapping the water, waiting for you to come out and play. Welcome to waterfront living, here in the Roanoke Region.
Water tubes, jet skis, sailboats and canoes; wake boards, fishing and swimming. These are the activities that define a typical day on the lake. Not to mention, the best way to get anywhere is always by boat. Besides views of the mountains and the water trapped within, your house is the best place to view the fireworks on the Fourth of July. Relaxing and inspiring, waterfront living is a permanent vacation.
