Overview

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Roanoke VA metro area serves as a vibrant nexus of culture, education, and economic activity in southwestern Virginia. This region, with Roanoke as its core, extends its reach to encompass several surrounding counties including Botetourt, Craig, Franklin, and Roanoke Counties, covering a total area of over 1,000 square miles. Home to approximately 313,000 residents, the Roanoke metro area offers a unique blend of urban amenities and natural beauty, making it an attractive locale for both businesses and families.

Geography and Economy

Roanoke city, often referred to as the “Star City of the South” due to the iconic neon star atop Mill Mountain, anchors the metro area. It functions as the central hub for commerce, healthcare, and transportation within the region. The area’s geography, characterized by rolling hills and picturesque valleys, not only provides stunning landscapes but also serves as a backdrop for outdoor recreational activities, from hiking and biking on the Appalachian Trail to boating and fishing on Smith Mountain Lake.

The economy in the metro area is diverse, with strong sectors in healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and education. Major employers include Carilion Clinic, a leader in healthcare and the area’s largest employer, Virginia Tech in nearby Blacksburg, and Roanoke College in Salem, contributing significantly to the region’s economic stability and growth. The presence of Norfolk Southern Railway highlights the area’s historical importance in transportation and continues to play a key role in freight movement.

Higher education thrives here, with Virginia Tech, a major research university, located just outside the metro area, driving innovation, and providing a skilled workforce. Roanoke College, Hollins University, and Radford University offer a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, enriching the intellectual and cultural fabric of the region.
