Bang for your Buck: Only five miles from the City of Roanoke, Vinton's home prices are less than many other locations within the area. Home styles vary from Victorian to rancher, contemporary to colonial—many with stunning views.
Vinton is part of the Roanoke metro area, but definitely has its own personality and charm! From the quaint downtown shops and farmers' market to its new library and business think tank, you will find a mix of neighborhoods and amenities.
Key Features
Downtown: Two blocks packed with classic charm, Downtown Vinton is a great destination for a stroll. You can grab lunch, pop into the library, or find some quiet reflection at the War Memorial. You'll be sure to see cars parked along the roadsides with bumper stickers that say "TOV" (Town of Vinton).
