Pulaski County offers a refreshing blend of mountain-lake scenery, practical convenience, and strong community roots. Anchored by the historic towns of Pulaski and Dublin, the county sits along the New River and Claytor Lake, with easy access to neighboring Radford and a straightforward commute to research and tech employers in Blacksburg.
Outdoor time is second nature here. Boaters and paddlers spread out across the coves of Claytor Lake State Park, a favorite for beaches, fishing, and cabins, while cyclists and runners claim the 57-mile New River Trail State Park, which begins in the county and traces rivers, trestles, and pastoral views. Weekends bring local music, farmers markets, and ballgames, with a calendar that stays full from spring through fall.
Families appreciate the educational pipeline and career pathways. Pulaski County Public Schools emphasizes career and technical education alongside AP and dual-enrollment options, and New River Community College in Dublin partners with regional employers on advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and IT programs—helping students step directly into in-demand jobs. Housing spans lakefront retreats, classic foursquares, and new builds, and the cost of living remains comfortably below many metro areas, without sacrificing broadband, healthcare access, or cultural programming from nearby universities.
