Riverland-Walnut Hill Homes for Rent

Riverland-Walnut Hill in Roanoke is a historic neighborhood bordered by Mill Mountain and the Roanoke River. Known for its early 20th-century architecture, the area features American Foursquare houses, bungalows, and Dutch Colonial Revivals, many of which may require renovations. The neighborhood's steep terrain offers views of the iconic Roanoke Star. Outdoor attractions include the 10-mile Roanoke River Greenway and Monument Trail, which loops around Mill Mountain Park, home to a flower garden, zoo, and various hiking paths. Piedmont Park and River’s Edge Park provide recreational spaces with playgrounds, sports facilities, and access to the greenway. Crystal Spring Elementary School is highly rated. The area is close to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, a major local employer. Dining options are abundant, with downtown Roanoke offering steakhouses, cafes, and Blue Cow Ice Cream Co. for hand-crafted treats. The neighborhood is car-dependent but has access to public transportation via Valley Metro bus routes and an Amtrak station in downtown Roanoke. Flooding can be an issue due to the proximity to the Roanoke River, and the lack of street gutters.
