Can’t decide if you prefer the mountains or the city? You don’t have to. Jump on the 250 bypass and find yourself in the Blue Ridge mountains with hiking, vineyards, and breweries, or head downtown for live music, restaurants, shops, and bars. Need to go shopping? Rio Road, Barracks Road Shopping Center, and the Shops at Stonefield are five minutes down 29. And, of course, there’s UVA nearby with D1 sporting events and a world-class concert venue.
