     For a variety of reasons, the Lexington/Rockbridge area is experiencing an influx of people moving here, buying property, homes and farms.

     The area has become an attractive place for retirement because of the natural beauty of our mountains and valleys, the presence of our colleges and universities which allow local residents to attend concerts, plays, talks and other events, and often to audit classes, and our four distinct seasons with relatively mild average temperatures winter and summer. 

     With the availability of broadband internet, people are also finding that they can enjoy the quality of life that Lexington and Rockbridge County offer while pursuing their careers. The area has also benefited from people moving here to open new businesses or to relocate existing businesses.  See the current edition of Valley of Virginia Properties online at www.thenews-gazette.com, click on the HOMES tab.
