Blacksburg’s tech and heath care hubs
Virginia Tech is Blacksburg’s top employer, but many of the town’s other biggest companies are on the southwest side of town in Farmview-Ramble. The neighborhood is bisected by the U.S. Route 460 bypass, with the land on the north side covered with more than a dozen companies. Many are tech-focused businesses, a growing sector in Blacksburg, says MR Real Estate Team co-owner Jay Mandell. South of the bypass is LewisGale Hospital Montgomery. It’s the town’s fifth-largest employer, with more than 500 workers handling thousands of patients annually who seek emergency care, surgeries or specialist appointments. Despite all this commercial activity, there’s still room for homes to spread out among a spacious, green landscape.

In between downtown and Christiansburg businesses
Shoppers can head 2 miles north on Route 460 to reach Kroger and Dollar Tree or go 2 miles south to Christiansburg. The town has a cluster of shopping centers with an Earth Fare supermarket, Target and more than a dozen other chain retailers. It’s 3 miles to downtown, home to boutique shops, restaurants and bars. LewisGale Hospital Montgomery is a big employer, but living near a hospital is usually only a top consideration for retirees, Mandell says. “You’ve got people coming in on a retirement quest. They say, ‘I want to be like Grizzly Adams and make sure I have medical care and acreage.’”

Hiking around a coal mine

There aren’t many masjids in town, but Islamic Center of Blacksburg has been in the neighborhood since 1990.
