Blacksburg and Christiansburg among happiest blue ridge towns

It's no secret that we think Blacksburg and Christiansburg are two of the happiest towns in the Blue Ridge Mountain region. Settled in the tranquil New River Valley, these two towns are full of life, culture, and opportunities for exploration, adventure, and relaxation.

But don't just take our word for it! Blue Ridge Country named Blacksburg and Christiansburg among the happiest mountain towns across the Blue Ridge Mountains! Whether you're taking a much-needed vacation, getting away for the weekend, or dropping in for a work trip, there's no limit to the joy you'll find in our two favorite Southwest Virginia communities.
