Washington Heights places you on the northwest side of Roanoke with a comfortable, residential feel and quick connections to downtown employers. Streets of brick ranches and mid-century homes sit on generous lots, and everyday errands are easy along Melrose Avenue and Hershberger Road.
Outdoor time is built in. The paved Lick Run Greenway threads nearby, linking the neighborhood to downtown parks and the greenway network, while Washington Park offers ballfields, paths, and a seasonal pool. Weekend escapes into Roanoke County put the Blue Ridge’s trailheads, overlooks, and river access within easy reach.
Families appreciate access to Roanoke City Public Schools—elementary options close to home and a pathway to William Fleming High School—backed by specialty programs and career academies through Roanoke City Public Schools. Higher-ed and healthcare hubs are close as well, including Virginia Western Community College and Radford University Carilion downtown.
Convenience is a daily perk. Major shopping and dining at Valley View Mall are minutes away, and travel is straightforward from Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport. Commuters appreciate access to I‑581 and 460, while local bus routes connect the neighborhood to city amenities.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating for work, Washington Heights delivers everyday ease with solid value. When you’re ready to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional to guide the process.
