Waterton, a small area in Boonsboro, is one of Lynchburg's most sought-after neighborhoods. “It’s an area with good, established landscaping and a lot of large homes,” says Ashley Eiban, a Realtor with eXp Realty LLC-Lynchburg who has lived in the city for nearly two decades. “There’s also a lot of history associated with the area. It has a kind of old-money vibe.” The area includes Boonsboro Country Club, which was built as a home in 1800 and opened as a golf course in 1929. Boonsboro Elementary School started as a three-room building in 1921 and has a long history of helping and engaging in the community. There’s just as much history in the homes, which includes Victorians, Angel says. “The homes usually have a lot of style and character.” While the area has a historic feel, it also maintains a trendy vibe, since it’s just 4 miles from Randolph College. “A lot of people buy their first home here,” says Stacey Angel, a Realtor with Red Door Realty who has been selling homes in Lynchburg for nearly a decade. “But I’ve also sold to retirees, so it attracts all different types of people.”

Commuting on U.S. Route 501
Many residents commute to work on U.S. Route 501. The neighborhood attracts medical professionals since it’s near Centra Virginia Baptist Hospital. Waterton doesn’t have a public transportation service but is very walkable, Angel says. “I always see people walking the neighborhood to get around,” she says. Lynchburg Regional Airport is 10 miles away. While Lynchburg has an overall extreme risk of flooding due to the proximity of the James River, Waterton has a moderate risk.
