Roanoke

Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, this vibrant Virginia community is affectionately known as the “Star City of the South.”

Welcome Home to Roanoke

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Roanoke offers the perfect blend of scenic beauty, rich heritage, and modern convenience. Located along the picturesque Roanoke River in Southwest Virginia, the city sits within the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains and just off Interstate 81, making it both a peaceful mountain retreat and a well-connected destination. About 250 miles from Washington, D.C. and roughly 50 miles north of the Virginia–North Carolina border, Roanoke offers easy access to major destinations while maintaining its welcoming small-city charm.
 
With a population of just over 100,000, Roanoke is the largest city in Virginia west of Richmond and serves as the vibrant heart of the Roanoke Valley metropolitan area. Over the years, the city has grown into Southwest Virginia’s economic and cultural hub, offering residents a dynamic community with a strong sense of history and forward-looking energy.
 
Roanoke’s story began to take shape in 1882 when the Norfolk and Western Railway selected the small settlement of Big Lick as the site for its headquarters and railroad shops. Within just two years, the thriving town was incorporated as the City of Roanoke, and its rapid growth established it as an important center for commerce, innovation, and opportunity. That spirit of growth continues today, with a thriving service economy and a nationally recognized healthcare sector helping drive the city’s continued vitality.
 
Today, Roanoke blends historic character with exciting modern attractions. The city is famously home to the iconic Roanoke Star, an 88.5-foot illuminated star perched on a mountain overlooking the city. Visible for miles, it inspired Roanoke’s beloved nickname, “The Star City of the South,” and offers breathtaking views of the valley below.
 
Residents and visitors alike enjoy the city’s vibrant arts, culture, and dining scene. Landmarks such as the elegant Hotel Roanoke—a beautiful Tudor Revival hotel originally built in 1882—stand alongside contemporary cultural attractions like the striking Taubman Museum of Art. The historic Roanoke City Market, the oldest continuously operating open-air farmers’ market in Virginia, remains a lively gathering place filled with fresh produce, local crafts, and community spirit.
 
For those who love the outdoors, Roanoke is truly a paradise. The Roanoke Valley features more than 26 miles of scenic greenways for walking, running, and cycling, and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains offer endless opportunities for hiking, exploring, and enjoying nature year-round. With its scenic views, welcoming neighborhoods, and strong sense of community, it’s a place people are proud to call home- and you could too.
