A small Lynchburg community with a big-city vibe
Because it’s so close to Liberty University, Cornerstone tends to be a place people settle after graduation, or even before. “It’s one of my favorite neighborhoods—for personal reasons and to sell—because it has a big city vibe in a small area,” says Sabrina Tomlin, a Realtor with NextHome TwoFourFive who was born and raised in Lynchburg. “This feeling attracts a younger crowd; It’s a hot spot for Liberty students.” People can wake up and walk to breakfast or finish their day at the gym and get home on foot in no time . “Cornerstone caters to people, like students, who might not have a car,” says Aaliya Robertson, a local who has lived in Lynchburg her entire life. “They even have traffic-stopping poles to help pedestrians cross the street.”
