Why you might want to consider moving to Roanoke, Virginia
- Outstanding access to nature and outdoor lifestyle
- Roanoke sits in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers very strong outdoor-recreation access: hundreds of hiking and biking trails, greenways, river access for kayaking.
- For people who value being able to grab your mountain bike or hiking boots and head out after work, that’s a big plus.
- More affordable cost of living & housing than many metros
- The cost of living in Roanoke is below the U.S. average. For instance its cost-of-living index is cited around 83.5 (i.e., about 11 % below average) in one review.
- Housing is cited as relatively affordable compared to many parts of the country.
- If you’re looking for a place where your dollars go further (which can free up time or money for community engagement, travel, or volunteer work), this is a strong factor.
- Good location & regional connectivity
- According to the city’s “Strategic Advantages” page: Roanoke is “centrally located to 14 major US cities” and has “cost of living below the national average”.
- What that translates to: you’re within a reasonable drive of many other regions on the East Coast. If you travel for personal or professional reasons, that may matter.
- Community-oriented, smaller-city feel
- Sources note that Roanoke has a more “welcoming community” feel compared to larger, more anonymous cities..
- Quality of life: mix of urban + nature + services
- The city’s official materials say it offers “excellent healthcare and school systems” and a “vibrant downtown … award-winning restaurants, music and performing arts venues and outdoor activities.”
- So you get a mix: not purely rural, not a mega-metro — somewhere in between. For many, that’s a sweet-spot.
