Friendly home prices in Bedford Hills

Bedford Hills is a trendy suburb with friendly home prices and access to all kinds of entertainment in Lynchburg. It’s just 2 miles south of Boonsboro and 5 miles north of downtown. “It’s a nice little neighborhood to live in if you need to get where you need to be quickly. The 501 is right there,” says Aaliya Robertson, a Lynchburg resident who grew up in the city. U.S. Route 501 helps workers and students reach major employers like the Virginia Baptist Hospital and nearby universities. Robertson says Virginia Baptist is the area's only hospital with a maternity unit. “Basically everybody I know was born there, and so was I,” she says. “That’s where everyone goes to give birth.”

Oakwood Country Club, Boonsboro Country Club

Peaks View Park has everything most parks have — especially since it’s Lynchburg’s second largest park — with a playground, walking and running trails and a disc golf course. There’s also a tennis court and multipurpose sports fields. During the warmer months, the James River is a popular destination for canoeing and kayaking. Peakland Pool is another go-to spot in the summer. People can also go swimming at Oakwood Country Club, which also acts as a space for events like weddings. Oakwood used to have a golf course but now is known for its swim team and tennis club, Donovan says. Golfers visit Boonsboro Country Club, which has an 18-hole course.

Bedford Hills Carnival

Every August, Bedford Hills Elementary School hosts a Bedford Hills Carnival, which includes face painting, bouncy houses, games, food and a silent auction. No matter the season, it’s a quick trip to downtown Lynchburg, a walkable area with plenty of restaurants such as Depot Grille and The Water Dog, and antique shops like Simpson Salvage Company.

Garden at E.C. Glass High

Children can attend Bedford Hills Elementary School, before moving on to Linkhorne Middle School. Both schools earn a B-minus from Niche, while Linkhorne offers plenty of extracurriculars including a science fair. “A lot of people move here for the schools,” Donovan says. Kids can advance to E.C. Glass High School, which receives a B-plus and recently let students start a garden, with the help of the Virginia Department of Forestry and staff from Roanoke College and The University of Lynchburg. For a private education, children can attend James River Day School and advance to Virginia Episcopal School. Both schools earn an A-minus from Niche. Randolph College is less than 3 miles away, while the University of Lynchburg and Liberty University are less than 20 minutes down the road. Liberty University is affiliated with a popular church, Thomas Road Baptist Church, which has over 20,000 members. Churches in Bedford Hills include Boonsboro Presbyterian PCA Reformed Church, Church of the Covenant and the Peakland United Methodist Church.
