A peaceful, well-connected neighborhood in Roanoke
Vintage homes, a nostalgic shopping district and green spaces define the western Roanoke neighborhood of Raleigh Court. “It borders the city and the county, so it’s nice for people who don’t necessarily want to live downtown,” says Kaelyn Spickler, who’s lived in Roanoke for over six years. She adds that many people with younger children appreciate that the area is walkable to churches and shops, but the neighborhood has a more laidback atmosphere. Raleigh Court has several community gathering points that foster a sense of connection, including the historic Grandin Village, the Raleigh Court Branch Library, the Masjid AL-Salam, the Church at Grandin Village, the Raleigh Court United Methodist Church and more. “There’s an emphasis on being outdoors, whether it’s on the greenways or at a local park, so there’s a lot of opportunity to see neighbors here,” says Lisa Marie Santacaterina, a Realtor with MKB, Realtors who’s served the area for 19 years.
Raleigh Court Virginia is home to just over 11,000 residents.

Small businesses and local eateries in Grandin Village
Grandin Village, which is Raleigh Court’s commercial center, maintains a nostalgic vibe with popular restaurants and consignment boutiques taking up residence in historic brick buildings. Mornings can start on a comforting note at Scratch Biscuit Company which Santacaterina says “has the best breakfast sandwiches where you eat one and it holds you over until dinner.” Pop’s Ice Cream and Soda Bar is an old-fashioned spot with a soda bar where locals can order a grilled cheese or ice cream cone from a colorful chalkboard menu. For dinner, Taaza India Cuisine serves Indian fare like garlic naan and tikka masala. After work, residents can grab a beer and play pool at Spike’s or sip a glass of wine at the Jolly Grape. Grandin Village also has small businesses where locals can get a haircut at the Grandin Road Barber Shop, hunt for vintage pieces at the New to Me Consignment Boutique or find their next read at Too Many Books, a used bookstore. The Roanoke Co-op stocks farm-fresh produce and organic goods, but residents drive less than 2 miles southeast to go grocery shopping at larger supermarkets like Kroger.

Films and musical performances at the Grandin Theatre
The local businesses in Grandin Village host recurring events, like the Saturday farmers market behind the Roanoke Co-op and book club at the Little Green Hive coffee shop, which happen every first Monday of the month. The historic Grandin Theatre, which opened in 1932, is a popular weekend destination where residents can catch live musical performances and showings of indie and mainstream films. Every Saturday, the non-profit theatre offers free matinee showings of family-friendly movies. In April, the neighborhood gathers at the Grandin Chillage, a festival with live music and food trucks. The community begins the holiday season with Winterfest, an annual street festival held in early December that’s packed with local vendors. Families take pictures with Santa, and residents create holiday crafts as a live band plays festive songs, and the smell of freshly roasted chestnuts fills the street.

Sports fields and hiking trails in Raleigh Court
Several parks make it convenient to spend time outdoors. “There are sidewalks throughout the neighborhood, so it’s easy to walk with your kids to the playground,” Spickler says. At Shrine Hill Park, children run around the playground while teenagers kick a ball around the soccer field, and neighbors play tennis on the tennis courts. The trailhead for Murray Run Greenway is also at Shrine Hill Park — as the 1.9 mile-trail is the only unpaved greenway in the City of Roanoke, locals can spot birds and other wildlife on afternoon walks. Lakewood Park is another stretch of green space with a manmade lake and a trail that follows a short creek. The park also has a small playground. Residents turn to Raleigh Court Park for athletic recreation, as the park has basketball and tennis courts, along with soccer fields and baseball diamonds for practice or youth sports games.
