The City of Roanoke, as well as the surrounding region, affords residents and visitors a unique experience. Tucked in the Roanoke Valley with mountains in every direction, Roanoke is strategically located less than a day’s drive to over half of the U.S. population, and affords visitors and residents alike a variety of outdoor amenities, award winning local restaurants, and big-city shopping and museums, all with the charm of a small town.
