Suburb in western Blacksburg
Situated between the Jefferson National Forest and Virginia Tech campus, Glade-Westover is a residential suburb ideal for those who want to enjoy both the local natural areas and the convenience of Blacksburg’s urban amenities. Running through the neighborhood is the Route 460 Bypass, a major local thoroughfare; the farther west they go from the bypass, the more farmland and pastoral topography residents can find. Almost directly east of the bypass are Virginia Tech and the University Mall Shopping Center. Although there are a handful of apartment complexes closer to campus where students live, much of the neighborhood is home to families and non-student residents: “If you go off the bus routes and into the neighborhoods with busses, you’ll find a lot of locals,” says Amy Hudson, a broker/owner with RE/MAX 8 and Blacksburg resident. “Most of the students like to be along the bus route.” Glade-Westover also has several houses of worship, including Glade Church, Unitarian Universalist Congregation and Grace Covenant Presbyterian.

Hiking trails at nearby Heritage Community Park
Glade-Westover is home to two small neighborhood parks: Westover Park and Lark Lane Park. Both outdoor areas include playground equipment, a basketball court and wide-open green space for picnics and other field sports. Adjacent to the neighborhood, residents can find 150 acres of additional parkland: “The town of Blacksburg purchased a farm called Heritage Park,” Hudson says. “Within it is a dog park and part of the park has hiking trails.” The Heritage Community Park and Natural Area is also located right near the popular Huckleberry Trail. “The Huckleberry Trail has 15 miles of paved trailway, and it attaches Christiansburg to Blacksburg,” says Judy Ronan, a longtime resident of the nearby town of Christiansburg. “The trail is only for cycling and walking, there’s no motorized vehicles allowed.”
