Rural atmosphere 3 miles from downtown Lynchburg
Fairview Heights, a neighborhood about 3 miles from downtown Lynchburg, has a rural atmosphere and is close to the James River and some major universities. The Virginia University of Lynchburg, a historically black college established in 1886, and Liberty University are nearby. “Liberty has a huge impact on the town,” says Sky Pacot, a Realtor with LPT Realty, LLC who has been selling homes for nearly three decades. Homes in Fairview Heights have good entry-level price points, Pacot says, which brings in a lot of first-time homebuyers. “A lot of them come from the college after graduating,” he says.
