Community Information

\n

Blacksburg sits in Montgomery County in Virginia's New River Valley, where small-town living meets wide-open mountain country. Owning land here is genuinely within reach. Many local physicians own multi-acre properties with room for a homestead, a hobby farm, horses, or a private retreat with sweeping Blue Ridge views. Land is accessible and the cost of living is reasonable, so the space and privacy that would be out of reach in most metro markets becomes an everyday reality here.

\n

\n
• Virginia Tech Football: Game days at Lane Stadium are a way of life here. Hokies football brings one of the best atmospheres in college sports right to your backyard.
\n
• Hiking: The region has world-class trails, including the Cascades waterfall hike, Dragon's Tooth, McAfee Knob, and miles of the Appalachian Trail through the Jefferson National Forest.
\n
• Fly Fishing: The New River and the surrounding mountain streams offer excellent trout and smallmouth bass fishing within minutes of town.
\n
• Mountain Biking: The Pandapas Pond and Poverty Creek trail systems offer singletrack for every skill level, along with the Huckleberry Trail connecting Blacksburg and Christiansburg.
\n

\n

Virginia Tech also brings vibrant arts, culture, dining, and year-round events. Residents enjoy parks, greenways, and easy access to outdoor attractions across Montgomery County and the NRV.
