Well it looks like we will be going to Roanoke and Richmond very soon to see where we like it and find a place. Any neighborhoods in the county (we don't want to be in the city) that you suggest we visit? We have an 8 and 10 yr old so schools are important to us.

Thanks in advance.

Roanoke and Richmond are a bit over 3 hours apart...
I assume you are talking about Roanoke County?

North Roanoke County is pretty nice. The high school would be Northside which seems to be ok from what I can tell (had/have 2 brothers and a sister there).

Southwest Roanoke County is served by Hidden Valley High School and Cave Spring HS. Both are pretty good schools, Hidden Valley being the newer of the two, but I think the neighborhood around Cave Spring is a bit more attractive (if that matters).

In Western Roanoke County is Glenvar High and finally William Byrd HS in Vinton.

None of those schools would be particularly a bad choice. That being said, I would suggest looking in the Cave Spring neighborhood in the SW section of the county. It was just ranked on the list of best small towns in America, one of 3 VA locations (even though technically its not even a town, just a 'place') to earn that designation.
