A designated Appalachian Trail Community, Waynesboro is a wonderful place for hikers, wine lovers, and renters looking for a close-knit community. Veritas Vineyards and Winery is one of the many local wineries that’s situated a few miles outside of Waynesboro. Beautiful mountain views, lush greenery, and sprawling vineyards create unbeatable views. Interstate 64 and Highways 250, 254, and 340 will get you anywhere in the area you need to go, including Charlottesville, home of the University of Virginia, just 28 miles east of Waynesboro.
Main Street and Broad Street in Waynesboro’s historic downtown district hold the majority of the restaurants, businesses, and services in town. Waynesboro Town Center is a great place to get your shopping done offering department stores and retailers. Good schools and expansive community parks are a perk of living in this Virginia suburb. Constitution Park sits Downtown, while Ridgeview Park offers playgrounds, a swimming pool, ball fields, tennis courts, a fishing pier, and nature trails. For a night out on the town, check out one of Downtown’s restaurants, followed by a night at the theater, specifically Wayne Theatre on Main Street.
