Mecca Gardens Homes for Rent

Mecca Gardens, located on the eastern edge of Roanoke, offers spacious lots and abundant greenery, with about 600 homes in the neighborhood. It is situated within 4 miles of Roanoke's downtown and the iconic Roanoke Star atop Mill Mountain. The neighborhood is also half a mile from Vinton, a smaller town known for its small-town vibe and annual festivals like the Vinton Dogwood Festival and Vinton Fall Festival. Mecca Gardens features a mix of colonial- and Craftsman-inspired new traditional homes and mid-20th-century ranch-style houses, with lot sizes averaging a third of an acre. The area is bordered by U.S. Route 460, which hosts various businesses, including antique shops, shopping centers, and independent retailers. For dining, residents often head to downtown Vinton, which has seen revitalization with new businesses like Macado’s and Pollard 107 South. The neighborhood is flanked by two public parks: Vinyard Park, Vinton’s largest, offering sports fields and a playground, and Thrasher Park, which includes one of the city’s two dog parks. Fallon Park, just over a mile away, provides a public pool and a cyclocross course. Mecca Gardens is served by Fallon Park Elementary School, John P. Fishwick Middle School, and William Fleming High School. King's Christian Academy, a private K-12 school, is also located within the neighborhood. The area has a low crime risk compared to the national average. Residents have convenient access to downtown Roanoke via Route 460 and can reach Interstate 581 within 2 miles. The Valley Metro bus service runs hourly along Route 460 and Gus Nicks Boulevard.
