Hollins Center Home for Rent

Hollins, a neighborhood in Roanoke, features early 20th-century homes on hilly streets, bordered by train tracks and Tinker Creek. The area has a significant industrial presence, including the Advanced Auto Parts Distribution Center. The southern part of Hollins has modest Cape Cod and ranch-style homes on small lots, with gravel driveways and streets lacking sidewalks or curbs. Traffic congestion is common due to trucks from nearby businesses. The northern part offers more privacy with larger lots, a dense tree canopy, and streets ending in cul-de-sacs, featuring Cape Cod, ranch-style, and American Foursquare houses. Home prices range from $180,000 to $300,000, depending on size, age, and condition. Adjacent to Hollins is the 59-acre Eastgate Park, known for its diverse landscapes, fishing, birding, and the 3-mile Tinker Creek Trail. The nearby Old Monterey Golf Club is the only public golf course in the Roanoke Valley. The Roanoke River Greenway, about 3 miles south, offers scenic bike paths and wildlife habitats. While Hollins has limited shopping and dining options, Valley View Mall is about 5 miles west, and downtown Roanoke is about 3 miles south. Grocery shopping is available at Kroger or Aldi, approximately 8 miles west. Hollins Road, the main thoroughfare, connects to U.S. Route 460 and provides access to public transportation via the Valley Metro bus. The Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport is about 6 miles northeast.
