Neighborhood

At the very heart of Roanoke, Virginia lies downtown Roanoke, home to the city's central business, market, and historic districts. Apartments in the downtown area make working and living in the city convenient. Beach lovers find themselves within a 20-minute drive of Virginia Beach and the great Atlantic Ocean. A free Star Line trolley service makes motoring the streets downtown simple and easy, and biking enthusiasts take advantage of free parking.

Elmwood Park serves as a gathering spot for natives downtown while doubling as Southwest Virginia's premiere venue for festivals and concerts. The park's outdoor ice rink provides wintertime fun for kids from ages one to 99.

More than 60 restaurants throughout the downtown area delight resident foodies. Sample southern comfort food at Jack Brown's Beer and Burger Joint where the locals order their Jack Bondurant burgers with sides of sweet potato fries.
