Living Here

Exceptional Living
Here in the e-Region

Serene or fast paced. Whatever you choose.
You can find it in Southwest Virginia’s e-Region.

Whether it’s viewing the beauty of the mountains from the Breaks Interstate Park, known as the Grand Canyon of the South and rated as one of the top 10 parks in the nation, charging over Spearhead Trails, a new ATV adventure network of trails growing throughout the region, eating native home cooking in one of our restaurants or just relaxing in a boutique hotel, cabin, camper, yurt or tent, you will find plenty to do.

Enoying the beautiful scenery, outstanding outdoor recreational opportunities including rock climbing, hiking, golf, fishing and biking, museums, historical reenactments, festivals,  music events and access to top healthcare and educational facilities are only some of the perks of living in Virginia’s e-Region.

Other highlights are the Historic Crab Orchard Museum and Pioneer Park; nearby Bristol Motor Speedway; “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” the official outdoor drama of Virginia; Natural Tunnel State Park; Wilderness Road State Park; and year round performances at renowned Barter Theatre, the State Theater of Virginia.

Historical driving trails wind through the region: The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail with several venues in the e-Region; The Wilderness Road: Virginia’s Heritage Migration Route that traces the footsteps of Daniel Boone; and the The Virginia Coal Heritage Trail, more than 300 miles of scenic byways providing the traveler with glimpses of unique coal mining towns that were formed more than a century ago.

The e-Region also includes access to a quality network of hospitals, clinics and specialty health centers within the region and in close proximity.

Four colleges and universities are located within the region and residents have access to many other higher education facilities within a 125-mile radius.
