Hey Everyone:

I have been doing research for sometime now on where I would want to relocate in the USA, and I've decided to do some more research in the state of Virginia. I am now looking to maybe relocate to the Roanoke area of Virginia. It will be about 4+ years until we decide to make the move to over that way. When we first move out there, I most likely will be renting an apartment/house and then hope to buy. When it comes to possibly buying a house, I am looking at buying a house in the Melrose-rugby neighborhood since it looks nice according to google and bing maps. Another thing that is also important to us is good medical facilities since my girlfriend suffers from asthma as well. I would also like to know if there are any good theological schools in the area too? What sorts of other fun activities are there to do overthere as well? I've also noticed too that it appears that Roanoke has a Personal Property Tax? Something that we don't seem to have in MI which is where I will be relocating from. Also how are the schools overthere as well in the neighborhood I would consider living in? How bad is unemployment overthere? I am looking to get into an IT related field as well. Also, are there good colleges as well? All in all, it seems like a really nice area from what I've seen and that it seems like there's a few things to do there as well. Let me know what you all think.

What kind of theological schools are you looking for? Are you looking to get a D. Min. from an accredited school? Or are you looking for a school where the only accreditation it needs is "from God"? There are many theological schools in Virginia, but none come to mind in Roanoke. Liberty University is in Lynchburg. Looking online, it says the drive time right now is one hour and eight minutes.
Liberty University School of Divinity

The personal property tax for most individuals is only on their cars. It's not that much unless you live in a jurisdiction with a high tax rate and drive new, expensive cars.

Good luck.

A fairly recent article on the Melrose-Rugby neighborhood:

Melrose-Rugby forum a neighborly presence for 25 years - Roanoke Times: Roanoke News

And the forum: Melrose-Rugby Neighborhood Forum, Inc. | Roanoke, VA
