Parties at the Aviary
The Aviary at Miller Park, a Queen Anne-style building that was built in 1902, is popular for events including weddings, bridal showers and birthday parties. “I’ve been to several parties there,” says Dawson. Down the street from The Aviary is the Miller Center, which offers dance and fitness studios, a theatre, and Nature Zone, an environmental education center. The nearest golf course is Oakwood Country Club, which is 5 miles away.Games and events at City Stadium
People spend their weekends at the City Stadium Complex and Lawn, whether it’s to watch a Lynchburg Hillcats Minor League Baseball game (sometimes with an encore of fireworks) or cheer on the E.C. Glass High School football team on a fall Friday night. The complex also hosts events like pride month and Lynchburg’s annual wine and music festival.Bungalows from $100,000
Potential homebuyers will find early 1900s bungalows and Craftsman homes that range between $100,000 and $300,000, depending on the number of rooms and yard space.Standout sports at E.C. Glass High School
Lynchburg City Public School District serves children in Miller Park. Students can attend T.C. Miller Elementary School for Innovation, which receives a C-plus from Niche, before advancing to Dunbar Middle School for Innovation.

Liberty Christian Academy (LCA), a private school for grades K-12, is about 5 miles away and has more than 1,800 students. It's affiliated with Liberty University, one of the world’s largest Christian universities, also located in Lynchburg. The University and the K-12 Academy both offer online courses and have an extensive web presence.LCA is also affiliated with Thomas Road Baptist Church.

Global cuisine and a ‘World Famous’ dive bar
Wards Road is home to comforting food spots including Milan Indian Cuisine and Moon Tea and Mochi Donut. F and L Market Grocery Store is the popular grocery store in Miller Park. The World Famous Stadium Inn is the go-to nightlife spot in the neighborhood that offers a dive bar atmosphere. Here, neighbors can watch weekly sports games on the big screen with a side of beer and appetizers. The Plaza, a business center on Memorial Avenue, is home to a Dollar Tree, Citi Trends, and the neighborhood library. Venue Cinemas, a second-run theater offering discount ticket prices, is also nearby.Commuting on U.S. Route 29

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
