SperlingViews - Danville, Virginia

Having lived here with my parents since 1989, I have seen positive changes. First according to my parents, this is the lowest cost area they have lived in (Having lived in Southern Maryland, Hampton Roads, Cincinnati) This is the last capital of the Confederacy and at times a few do not think the war is over. There are allot of churches, two colleges, well kept infrastructure and pretty good schools. We are close to Raleigh, Greensboro NC, Roanoke, Lynchburg VA. The coast is four hours to the east and skiing 1.5 hours to the north. Come visit.[read more...]

Justin, sounds like the perfect place to live! Conservative, absolute values, Bible believing community. I've visited Danville twice and one thing Justin failed to mention was the beauty of this town. A mall, parks and recreation with an active plan of events, a multitude of churches for all denominations, and a minor league baseball team. And the cost of living is well below the national average. Life is what you make it and Danville has all that anyone could possibly need to fulfill the American dream.[read more...]

Danville Virginia is an okay place to settle if you are white, make at least 40k/yr and want to live in a small quiet city where not much goes on. I am all of the above with the exception of the last. It's no secret that small souther cities/town tend to be more conservative and old-fashioned; Danville is no exception, and I want no part of it. In my opinion, it is not an ideal place to start a family due to the prejudism and close mindedness of the people that live here. Don't get me wrong, some of the nicest people you will ever meet live in Danville. But as a whole, Danville is not very tolerant to people of different races, sexual orientations, or people who just have different views and opions on things.[read more...]
