Residential area near Roanoke amenities

Westview Terrace is a residential Roanoke neighborhood filled with homes from the 1960s and ‘70s. The majority of streets don’t have curbs or sidewalks, and most homes sit on large lots with enough space for a soccer game or family cookout. “It’s an affordable area with a lot of rejuvenation happening,” says Alex Taylor, Roanoke local and Realtor with Mac Westland Real Estate Group. “A lot of investors are buying and fixing up properties, providing better quality homes.” The average home value in Westview Terrace is $235,228, compared to the Roanoke Metro Area's average of $323,680 and the national average of $548,218.

1960s neighborhood vibe

Westview Terrace is mostly residential, and 1964 is the median year homes were built. With wide, walkable streets, ranch-style and split-level homes and yards with enough room to toss a ball around, Westview Terrace embodies a neighborhood from this post-war era. Houses sit on quiet streets, some of which end in cul-de-sacs. The Blue Ridge Mountains are visible in the distance; they’re a lush green in the spring and summer and a fiery red in the fall before becoming bare for the winter. Potential homebuyers can find a property for $100,000 to $275,000, depending on the size, age and condition. “Many homebuyers will give their houses fresh life,” Taylor says. “There’s a decent amount of rentals in that area as well. Those that are not being rented are getting updated with new kitchens and bathrooms.” The average home value in Westview Terrace is $235,228, compared to the Roanoke Metro Area's average of $323,680 and the national average of $548,218.

What’s happening along Peters Creek Road

One of Roanoke’s main roads, Peters Creek Road, runs along the neighborhood’s western border.

Nearby Countryside Park and the Roanoke Country Club

Countryside Park, a golf course turned green space, is the closest park to the neighborhood. Its open grassy hills, open layout and paved paths where golf carts once drove nod to its past use. The Lick Run Greenway, a 4-mile paved trail from downtown to the Valley View Mall, runs for half a mile through the park, leading to fitness stations that dot the path. There’s also a playground and a picnic shelter at Countryside Park, which is adjacent to the Countryside Sportsplex, a six-field soccer complex and indoor basketball facility on two parcels of land. The Roanoke Country Club is just south of Westview Terrace and has a 27-hole golf course and the Roanoke Valley’s largest indoor and outdoor tennis facilities.
