What Makes Roanoke Special for Building a Home?

Roanoke is a city with a long industrial history, surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. It started as a small town called Big Lick and grew quickly with the railroad, earning the name "The Magic City." Today, it's known as the "Star City of the South" because of the giant illuminated star on Mill Mountain. This history gives the city a unique mix of older structures and new opportunities for expansion and renewal.

From Railroads to Modern Homes

The city's past, tied to the Norfolk and Western Railway, means there are many established neighborhoods with a lot of character. Areas like Old Southwest have historic homes that show the city's long story. Building a new home or remodeling an old one in Roanoke means adding to this story.

Roanoke is a great place for people who love the outdoors. With the Blue Ridge Parkway nearby and parks like Carvins Cove, there are endless things to do. When we build a home here, we think about how you can enjoy these natural surroundings. This might mean adding a large porch to take in the mountain views or big windows to let in the natural light.

How is Home Construction Different in Roanoke?

Building a home in Roanoke is special because of the landscape. The city is in a valley, surrounded by mountains. This means many homes are built on sloped land, which requires special care and planning. We have to think about the best way to place a home to get a good view while making sure it's safe and sturdy. The mix of older, historic neighborhoods and new developments also means we need to build homes that fit in with their surroundings, whether it's a classic design for an established area or something more modern.
