Why Live in Blacksburg
Blacksburg is a small Cherokee County town that once had just one stoplight and still answers to the nickname Iron City, a nod to the iron deposits that fueled a late 19th century boom. The landscape is largely rural, dotted with ranch houses on several-acre lots and framed by state and national parkland that invites hiking, horseback riding and fishing. A short stretch of Interstate 85 keeps Charlotte and Spartanburg within an hour’s drive, so residents balance countryside quiet with city-size jobs, shopping and health care. Downtown covers daily needs with a grocery, a few eateries and older storefronts, while an annual fall festival salutes the community’s mining past. Ranch-style homes dominate Blacksburg’s rural landscape, many on several-acre lots that provide privacy and space for livestock or gardens. Most residences date to the 1920s through the ’80s, so mature trees and established neighborhoods are common. The median sales price is about $250,000, but newer two-story houses of 2,200 to 2,500 square feet sit at the top of the market at roughly $300,000 to $350,000. Vacant land is still available for buyers who want to build their own retreat in this small-town setting.
