Ridgeway, VA

Sitting right along the North Carolina border in Henry County, Ridgeway offers quiet, small-town living with one major landmark. Despite its name, Martinsville Speedway is actually located within Ridgeway's town limits, bringing big NASCAR crowds and energy to the area a couple of weekends a year. For the rest of the year, the community stays calm and unhurried, with quiet neighborhoods and wooded country roads branching off the main U.S. 220 corridor.

Living on the state line makes running errands simple. You can reach the stores, restaurants, and medical centers in Martinsville in about ten minutes heading north, or cross into Eden, North Carolina, about eight miles to the south. With its mix of historic homes, rolling woods, and easy highway access, Ridgeway gives newcomers plenty of breathing room while keeping neighboring towns within a short drive.
