Hollins virgins is a very nice place to live. everything you need from downtown "night life" to the shopping centers is only 10 minute drive away. Several local restaurants in every direction. Is also quiet and somewhat rural. I would highly recommend. The only downfall is not a whole lot of things to do for children. But several big cities are only an hour or two away.

I don't know much about the crime rate in the city, but there are a few parts of the downtown area that appear very sketchy.

It really all depends on what you're in the mood for. There is not really many choices to choose here. I normally eat at the same places every single week. It is a small town, but there is a decent amount of restaurants you can choose from.

We have a neighborhood watch,but I do not think people actually watch out for suspicious crimes regularly.
