Neighborhood

Situated along the curve of Roanoke River and Interstate 220, Old Southwest Roanoke lies just a few blocks south of the downtown area. This area consists of historic homes that locals can visit during the annual Parlor Tour of Homes. Neighbors regularly gather at the Alexander-Gish House, which dates back to the 1830s, for classes and workshops.

Residents don't just tour historical homes. Renting an apartment near Highland Park allows easy access to this popular park's features such as a walking and running trail. After exercising, locals then spend a leisurely afternoon at the Wildflour Restaurant and bakery for some comfort food and conversation.

For a little more action, residents can walk or drive one mile to the north to the downtown area that has a number of eateries, including Blue 5 and Martin's Downtown Bar and Grill. The Science Museum of Western Virginia and the Taubman Museum of Art provide intellectual and artistic stimulation.
