Valley Forge Homes for Rent

The Doe River cuts through the Blue Ridge Mountains, eventually flowing downslope into the community of Valley Forge. Sandwiched between the southern edge of Elizabethton and the mountains, Valley Forge offers lower home prices than much of the surrounding area and access to manufacturing jobs in Elizabethton and Johnson City. But its biggest draw is the nearby recreation along the Blue Ridge. “The community there is really about enjoying the outdoor beauty because there’s a lot of that nearby,” says Katy Bennett, a Realtor at Hurd Realty who grew up in the region. While U.S. Highway 19E mainly follows the Doe River through the valley, the community’s residential streets branch off, rolling across the Blue Ridge foothills. Homes generally cost less in Valley Forge compared to nearby areas, including the city of Elizabethton. Many homes here are bungalows dating from the 1940s and sell from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$200,000s. Ranch-style homes mostly from the 1960s to the 1990s usually sell for more, going from the low $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s. There are also some manufactured homes here, ranging from about $100,000 to $190,000. Carter County Schools serves Valley Forge,
