Rural hideaway between bustling college towns
Nestled within the New River Valley countryside is Belview, a small census-designated community less than 5 miles away from the city of Radford and Radford University. “A lot of places like this are essentially just little pockets of larger surrounding towns,” says Judy Ronan, a long-time resident of nearby Christiansburg. Approximately 10 miles northeast is Blacksburg, which is home to the sprawling Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or simply Virginia Tech. Directly northwest of Belview sits the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, a large manufacturing complex. Despite the proximity to densely populated college towns and factories, Belview succeeds in maintaining a cozy, rural atmosphere where residents can live privately surrounded by nature.
Belview has a mix of farms, homes, and open spaces, preserving its small-town feel.
Belview is just a short drive from Virginia Tech and downtown Blacksburg.

Kayak and fish along the New River
Just outside the neighborhood is the New River, which Ronan says is a popular local outdoor recreation spot. “You can go kayaking there, you can go tubing, you can go fishing,” she says. “There are a lot of different things people can do on the New River. It’s a cool place.” Locals with personal kayaks or canoes can launch their craft into the river at Peppers Ferry Boat Launch, which is situated just across the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge. Approximately 5 miles away is the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech, a daily fee public facility featuring a driving range, putting green and a golf course that stretches along 2.5 miles of riverfront.
