Alleghany Homes for Rent

Alleghany, a suburb of Blacksburg, was developed in the mid-to-late 1900s to accommodate Virginia Tech faculty and staff. This fan-shaped neighborhood offers a rural feel with sizeable green lawns and abundant trees, despite being only a mile from the campus and downtown. Residents enjoy scenic views of the Montgomery County countryside and nearby wooded areas. The area features single-family homes with styles including New Traditional, Colonial, and contemporary Craftsman, along with a few apartment complexes. The neighborhood is bordered by rolling foothills to the east, providing a natural barrier to Ellett Valley. Local amenities include the recently renovated 9-hole Blacksburg Municipal Golf Course to the south and various parks and recreational facilities along Patrick Henry Drive to the north. These parks offer playgrounds, athletic facilities, picnic shelters, and a senior citizens center. Montgomery County Public Schools serve the area, with highly rated institutions such as Harding Avenue Elementary, Blacksburg Middle School, and Blacksburg High School. Dining options are plentiful along Main Street in downtown Blacksburg, including The Blacksburg Tavern and Green’s Grill & Sushi Bar. For groceries, residents can visit Kroger 2 miles south or the Oasis World Market. Blacksburg Transit’s Harding Avenue route services the neighborhood, and commuters have easy access to South Main Street, Business Route 460, and Interstate 81, which leads to Roanoke 40 miles east.
