Lifestyle

Offering boundless outdoor and cultural activities, Virginia’s Blue Ridge Crossroads region is a wonderful place to live, play, and work. Our region is notable for its recreational activities including biking, camping, hiking, bridle trails, fishing and some of Virginia’s most scenic mountain vistas with spectacular views from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The region’s vibrant cultural and arts community also attracts visitors of all kinds—from artists and art lovers to musicians and fans who want to experience world-class mountain music. The Blue Ridge Crossroads is the home of the Chestnut Creek School of the Arts, promoting and preserving the cultural heritage of southwest Virginia through art and music.  Although typically a quiet community, each year thousands from around the country, and even the world, gather to attend events such as the Old Fiddler’s Convention and the Hillsville VFW Gun Show and Flea Market.

In addition, our close proximity to I-77 and I-81 allow for easy travel to major metropolitan areas up and down the east coast, giving you both the serenity of the country while allowing you to stay connected.
