With Radford and Virginia Tech students back at school, things are hopping in the New River Valley! Living in a college town comes with many perks that you won’t find anywhere else. Sports, the arts, great restaurants, educational opportunities, and a lively culture are just some things that make living in a college town so wonderful!
Radford, VA, home of Radford University is a charming, affordable college town with so much to offer! With a median home list price of $284,500, achieving the American dream of home ownership is easily within reach in Radford and the surrounding area. Many graduates of Radford head to big cities like Washington DC or Charlotte, NC to pursue careers, but if you prefer an outdoor lifestyle and fresh mountain air, you may want to stick around and make Radford your home sweet home.
The Appalachian Trail is only a short drive away and nearby Claytor Lake State Park is fantastic for fishing and boating. Not only does Radford offer a great quality of life for people who love the outdoors, it also enjoys all the benefits of having the university there. There are many employment opportunities at Radford, but there are other options too. For example, The Dish Network in nearby Blacksburg employs about 1000 people and aerospace/defense company MOOG also has a presence there. While historic, single-family homes in Downtown Blacksburg are popular, they can also be pricy. So many people opt to live on the outskirts. The New River Valley includes Blacksburg, Radford, Christiansburg and Pulaski.
If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful life in the mountains, Radford and other towns in the New River Valley offer that and so much more. You can enjoy the great outdoors while also taking advantage of all the sporting events, arts and culture that a college town has to offer.
