After opening our doors in Charlottesville in 2008, Nest Realty opened our second office in Blacksburg in 2011. Since we made the announcement, everyone keeps asking, ‘Why Blacksburg?’
The simple answer is that there are a lot of similarities between Charlottesville and Blacksburg. They’re both small towns. They’re both college towns. Both populations have an extremely intelligent resident base. I could go on and on.
But I think that the biggest similarity is that residents of both Charlottesville and Blacksburg ‘care.’ They care about local businesses. They care about their schools. They care about their community.
So, it’s not surprising that Business Week just named Blacksburg as the ‘Best Place in the Country to Raise Kids.‘ You can also check out Blacksburg real estate expert Jeremy Hart’s take here.
Congrats, Blacksburg!
