Close to Liberty University and Lynchburg College
The residential neighborhood of Perrymont, 4 miles from Downtown Lynchburg, boasts well-maintained homes in a convenient location. “The main draw is the price point,” said Barbara Peluso Terzakos, a Realtor with Mark A. Dalton & Co. Inc. “It’s reasonably priced for some very cute homes.” Perrymont is beside the University of Lynchburg and 4 miles from Liberty University. “There are a lot of homes for rent,” says Peluso Terzakos. “These are usually rented by college kids.” Liberty University is a private university that contributes heavily to the Lynchburg community through its service program, Serve Lynchburg.
