Once a bustling small town, Meadowview is now a quiet rural community
Through the middle of the 20th century, Meadowview was a bustling community with a vibrant town square spurred on by the railroad. The local economy dimmed as retail and dining mostly left the area, but vestiges of its proud past remain. “There’s still a hardware store right at the downtown square. There was a restaurant, but it’s not there anymore,” says Doug Callebs, a broker at Callebs Realty and a longtime resident of Southwest Virginia. “We love that area, but it’s a sleepy little town, for sure.” Today, the community is mainly residential, with a quiet rural character near the Appalachian Mountains.
Homes around the old town square and farmhouses on large plots
Many Meadowview homes sit close to what once was the town square. These ranch-style houses and cottages generally sell between the low $100,000s and mid-$200,000s. Manufactured homes can also be found from $50,000 to the mid-$100,000s. As narrow roads branch off Hillman Highway, climbing toward the ridge to the west, properties further from the center of the community are often farmhouse style on larger plots of land, selling from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$300,000s based on size and condition.
Farmhouses on large parcels of land can be found the further you get from downtown Meadowview.

Sports at Emory and Henry and festivals in Abingdon
While Meadowview is generally quiet, residents can head nearby for events and entertainment. Football at Emory and Henry University is an integral part of life in the community, with attendance often reaching 5,000 or more.

Heading toward Abingdon for shopping and dining

Abingdon is the closest spot, with a shopping center that features Walmart and Lowe’s 6 miles away. The development also features several fast food spots, including McDonalds and Bojangles. “Abingdon is bustling now,” Callebs says. “They’ve got all the big-box stores and whatnot.” Within the community, Holston Furniture is a mainstay for home decor shoppers.
