Richlands pairs small-town pace with easy access to the outdoors and everyday conveniences. Set along the Clinch River and the US 460 corridor, the town blends historic storefronts with fresh investment, from local eateries to community events coordinated by the Town of Richlands. Nature is close: paddling and angling on the Clinch, neighborhood parks, and quick day trips to Virginia’s emerging Clinch River State Park, opening riverfront units across the region. Off-road riders gravitate to the Spearhead Trails network, with miles of managed routes and sweeping overlooks nearby. Neighboring Cedar Bluff adds shopping and services, and resources are close by throughout Tazewell County. Downtown murals and the Coal Miners’ Memorial highlight a heritage shaped by rail and coal, while new entrepreneurs bring fresh energy to long-running businesses.
Families value Tazewell County Public Schools, including Richlands Elementary, Middle, and the spirited Blue Tornado at Richlands High. Career-changers and recent grads tap Southwest Virginia Community College for workforce programs and transfer degrees. Healthcare needs are met at Clinch Valley Medical Center, offering emergency care, specialty clinics, and maternity services. Weekend plans range from Friday night football to summer farmers markets and festive parades.
