Housing Costs

GREAT HOMES AND LOW PRICES
Whether you dream of a great expanse of land, a modern downtown apartment, a old home, a suburban palace, or a waterfront manor, it can become a reality in the Roanoke Region. Surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, homes are not only first-class but affordable. With competitively low housing prices on top of a low cost of living, it's no wonder why the Roanoke Region has been nationally recognized as one of the best places in the United States to live.

 

Average Home Price: $188,797 (U.S.: $212,000)
