My wife and I will be visiting the Blacksburg area over July 4th weekend and are partly using the trip to get a feel for whether the area could be a good fit for a future move.

We’re 37 and 34, DINKs, so I’m especially interested in hearing from grad students, faculty/staff, alumni who stayed, or locals who know the area well.

We saw the Roanoke Freedom Festival and may check that out, but we’d love recommendations closer to Blacksburg, Christiansburg, or the surrounding area. Good restaurants, breweries, patios, live music, outdoor spots, walkable areas, neighborhoods to explore, or anything that gives a real sense of everyday life would be great.

Also curious how the area feels for people in their 30s without kids. What would you recommend we check out while we’re in town?
