A quiet residential atmosphere north of Virginia Tech
Northside Park is less than 3 miles north of Virginia Tech’s campus and Blacksburg’s bustling Main Street, giving locals fast access to the area’s nightlife and Hokies football games. This predominantly residential area includes established mid-20th-century homes and new subdivisions being built in nearby fields. Quiet streets and spacious sidewalks let residents stroll through the neighborhood, which has several cul-de-sacs leading to slower traffic and less noise. “Most all of Blacksburg has some great neighborhoods to live in that are close to Virginia Tech, or within walking distance to downtown and all the amenities, shops, restaurants,” says Darin Greear, Realtor with Long and Foster Real Estate and lifelong resident of the New River Valley. Though there are some apartments and the Hollins Estates mobile home park located south of Givens Lane, most residents enjoy spacious, fenced lots. The area is also within easy distance of many parks and paved trails, such as the Shenandoah Bike Trail and Primrose Park.
Northside Park is great for people who enjoy living near nature without being far from town.
Northside Park offers a blend of suburban living and access to outdoor recreational activities.

Mid-century and brand-new suburban homes
Large new traditional homes on sizeable lots with fenced yards will often have two-car garages and sometimes private pools. These homes are found in the newer subdivisions on Northside Drive and can cost between $500,000 and $750,000. The subdivision will continue to grow as more lots are sold and built in the fields beyond. Built in the mid-20th century, homes along Craig Drive and Pine Drive are shaded by tall trees tucked into the hillside. These family homes feature mid-century and Colonial-revival designs priced slightly lower, between $400,000 and $600,000. South of Givens Lane, the Hollins Estates mobile home community includes several manufactured homes to rent or own. The Fieldstone Apartment complex next door has several units for temporary residents and students ranging from around $1,000 to $1,200 monthly. Though the area is quieter than being near downtown Blacksburg, undeveloped fields in low-lying areas may collect water during times of heavy rainfall.

Blacksburg Municipal Park and the Moss Arts Center
Though Northside Park is not really a park, the neighborhood has several green spaces and trails to explore. The Shenandoah Bike Trail is a paved path that winds around several residential homes south of Givens Lane. There is also a playground and soccer fields which are adjacent to the trail. Primrose Park and Playground is a large green field with a few tall, shade-giving trees for picnics on the green and a medium-sized playground for children to enjoy. The Blacksburg Municipal Park has several sports courts and a much larger playground and is right next to the Blacksburg Community Center. The Blacksburg Aquatic Center has a public indoor pool just nearby. For a day indoors, folks can head south to Virginia Tech’s campus to visit its library, recital halls or the arts center. “The Moss Arts Center was named for P. Buckley Moss. She just passed away, but she was a very well-known artist in the area,” Greear says. “She endowed the arts center, which has a lot of musicals and performances. It’s a really great opportunity to live so close to a cultural spot like that.” The Blacksburg Dog Park on Toms Creek Road not only has space for furry friends, but it also has a playground and a ballfield.
Northside Park residents enjoy a relaxed pace of life, surrounded by nature and parks.
