Southland Acres blends everyday convenience with a relaxed, residential feel, making it an appealing choice for those settling into Lynchburg. Tucked on the city’s south side near the Wards Road corridor, the neighborhood offers quiet streets, mature trees, and a mix of mid-century and updated homes. Commuters appreciate quick connections to major thoroughfares for easy trips to campus, medical centers, and Downtown, while nearby destinations like Wyndhurst and Sandusky expand dining and shopping options. Living here also places you close to the border with Campbell County, broadening your choices for work and recreation.
Families value access to programs offered by Lynchburg City Schools, and the area sits within an academic hub that includes Liberty University and the University of Lynchburg, great for continuing education, cultural events, and athletics.
Outdoor time is easy to come by. The Blackwater Creek Trail threads miles of greenway for walkers and cyclists, while Peaks View Park offers fields, playgrounds, and wooded trails. For fishing, picnics, and a peaceful lakefront, head to Ivy Creek Park. Need errands or a quick bite? The refreshed River Ridge retail center is just minutes away.
