Thinking of Moving to Lexington, VA? Here's What You Should Know

If you’re considering moving to Lexington, Virginia—or even just exploring your options—I’m so glad you’re here. As someone who helps buyers make their home in this charming corner of the Shenandoah Valley, I can tell you: Lexington isn’t just a place, it’s a lifestyle.

Whether you’ve visited family here, passed through on vacation, or are choosing Lexington from a list of potential towns, there’s a lot to love—and a few things to keep in mind—when making your move. Let’s break it down!

1. More Buyers Are Prioritizing the Right Home Over the Right Town

Thanks to the rise in remote work, many buyers today are no longer tied to a specific city for a job. That’s why we're seeing an increase in people searching across multiple “crossover counties” instead of just one specific town. If you’re working from home and have reliable internet, it opens up your options—and Lexington has some pretty compelling reasons to be at the top of your list.

2. Love the Outdoors? Lexington Will Feel Like Home

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, get ready to fall in love. Lexington is surrounded by natural beauty, with the Blue Ridge Mountains just minutes away. You’ll find:

• Goshen Pass for hiking, swimming, and fly fishing

• Maury River for kayaking and tubing

• Abundant local trails perfect for weekend adventures

• Family-friendly vineyards and breweries with scenic views

In short, if fresh air and weekend hikes are your thing, this area will check all your boxes.

3. Small Town Charm + A Strong Sense of Community

One of my favorite things about Lexington? It’s what I like to call a modern-day Mayberry.

You’re bound to bump into someone you know at the local grocery store. And if you're new? Just stroll through downtown—grab a coffee, browse the boutiques, and chances are you’ll strike up a conversation with a friendly neighbor. Between our historic downtown, community events, and the influence of nearby Washington & Lee University and VMI, there’s always something happening in town.

4. Our Housing Market Is as Unique as the Town Itself

Lexington doesn’t do “cookie cutter.” Our housing market is full of character and variety—so whether you’re dreaming of:

• A low-maintenance home close to town

• A quiet lot with mountain views and room for a garden

• A newer construction home in an emerging subdivision

…you’ll find it here. But since every home is different, it’s so important to work with a local Realtor who understands the nuances of our market (hint: that’s us!).

We’re also seeing a rise in new construction homes as local builders respond to the growing demand—so if turnkey living is what you’re after, there are exciting opportunities for that too.
