Our Community
Located in the heart of Virginia, Lynchburg is a thriving city known for its history, outdoor beauty, and quality of life. It's big enough to offer amenities such as convenient air and Amtrack service, yet small enough to be free of traffic congestion and urban crime rates. Lynchburg is conveniently located along the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia, just three hours from Washington, D.C. and coastal beaches, and only minutes from lakefront communities, mountaintop trails, and ski slopes. There are two lakes within 40 miles of the area (Smith Mountain and Leesville) where lake lovers can enjoy boating, prime time fishing, and scenic views. The multitude of trails surrounding the Peaks of Otter located off the Blue Ridge Parkway are perfect for those who enjoy camping and hiking. The Appalachian trail is one of these. The Lynchburg area provides a broad range of housing options, acclaimed schools, a vibrant arts community, and temperate weather. Our community is surrounded by four universities and colleges providing diversity in the community and opportunity for undergraduate and graduate education.
