#5 Best Places to Live in Roanoke Area
Roanoke
Current Resident: Roanoke is a lovely space to live for the lovers of outdoor culture, mellow life and opportunities for growth. This isn't the city for the club or party life, but for niches, lounges & 'bubbles'. The city is growing rapidly, but unless one actively involves themself in a bubble (hobby, interest, cause, community), it can be quiet boring.
This is simply because it is a core facet of Roanoke's culture - small groups so enmeshed in their groups & pockets, they are often unaware of the other little thriving worlds around them. Roanoke's metro, counts ~300,000 in populace, with a diversity often difficult to grasp in census count, with +30% Black, and a Latinx community which is woefully underrepresented in reported stats.
It's a city for retirees, families & young entrepreneurs & career professionals. The thriving industries are healthcare, manufacturing, life science and beverage/brewing. If proactive in your pursuit of a lovely life, you have everything you need here.... Read 310 reviews
