About Blue Ridge

Blue Ridge is a scenic, welcoming community in southern Botetourt County, nestled right along Route 460 in the Roanoke Valley. Home to around 3,200 residents, the area blends quiet residential neighborhoods with wooded hillsides and classic mountain views. It offers a relaxed, spacious feel while keeping you easily connected to the surrounding region.

Community life often centers around Boxley Fields Park, where locals gather for youth sports, walking the paved loop, and enjoying the outdoors. Families are served by Botetourt County Public Schools, including Colonial Elementary, Read Mountain Middle, and Lord Botetourt High School. When you need major shopping centers, dining, or healthcare, downtown Roanoke and Salem are just a quick drive down the highway. It makes a great home base for anyone seeking mountain scenery and good schools close to city conveniences.
