Blacksburg/Christiansburg/Radford - A low-cost place to be. From MSN comes this article showing the "tri-city" area of Blacksburg/Christiansburg/Radford to be one of the Top 10 Low-Cost Locales in the country, with a high quality of life and good job prospects. We're called a Flyover city, which is just fine by me.
"Blacksburg is the largest of the three communities and combines a small-town feel and college amenities with a beautiful setting in the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountains. A pleasant climate and proximity to nearby Roanoke, with its excellent arts, commerce and health care, are perks. The wooded area lacks some big-city hustle and amenities, and is isolated from air service. But it has a low cost of living, with a median home price of only $197,800 and great outdoor recreation opportunities to boot."
