Roanoke City is more diverse at 70% white. Roanoke County is very sprawl-centric. Roanoke City has many walkable neighborhoods. Roanoke County real estate is more expensive than City real estate. So, if you enjoy a strong arts scene, and lean slightly to the left, and if you value cultural diversity, and think a walkable neighborhood w/ sidewalks is desirable, then you'd really, really enjoy living in Roanoke City. Others may disagree with my perspective, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Whew! It's probably a good thing I like art & indie music since I plan to relocate to the city. Otherwise I'll be in a minority.  |
