Rural atmosphere 3 miles from downtown Lynchburg
Fairview Heights, a neighborhood about 3 miles from downtown Lynchburg, has a rural atmosphere and is close to the James River and some major universities. The Virginia University of Lynchburg, a historically black college established in 1886, and Liberty University are nearby. “Liberty has a huge impact on the town,” says Sky Pacot, a Realtor with LPT Realty, LLC who has been selling homes for nearly three decades. Homes in Fairview Heights have good entry-level price points, Pacot says, which brings in a lot of first-time homebuyers. “A lot of them come from the college after graduating,” he says. Because it's outside the city, Fairview Heights has bigger lots of land compared to surrounding areas. “It has a very rural feel,” says Martin Donovan, a Realtor with Lauren Bell Real Estate, who has over 30 years of experience in the area. “It may not be as convenient as other neighborhoods, but it’s less expensive.”
Fairview Heights residents enjoy close proximity to the events of downtown Lynchburg.
