Montview Homes for Rent

Montview in Lynchburg has transformed from a historic dairy farm into a vibrant neighborhood closely tied to Liberty University. The area is family-oriented, with suburban streets and easy access to the university's amenities, although most facilities are for students only. Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre, a year-round ski resort, is a notable exception open to the public. The neighborhood features older ranch-style homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, characterized by shingle roofs and long driveways. Montview is not very walkable due to the lack of sidewalks, and residents typically rely on cars to navigate the area, with heavy traffic common during peak hours. For dining and entertainment, Big Lick Tropical Grill offers live music and diverse cuisine, while Shakers’ and River Ridge Mall provide additional dining options and shopping experiences. The mall also houses SeaQuest, an indoor aquarium with interactive exhibits. Grocery shopping is convenient with Walmart and Sam’s Club on Wards Road. Outdoor activities are available at Younger Park and Miller Park, which host various sports and recreational events. Educational options include the highly rated Liberty Christian Academy and public schools like Sandusky Elementary, Sandusky Middle, and Heritage High School. Commuters benefit from U.S. Routes 29 and 501, which connect to downtown Lynchburg, 4 miles away, and public bus services along Mayflower Drive. Lynchburg Regional Airport, 5 miles away, provides flights to Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Local attractions include AMF Lynchburg Lanes for bowling and the Williams Stadium and Vines Center on Liberty’s campus for sports and entertainment events.
