Review of Roanoke, Virginia


Choose Wisely
Star Rating - 3/3/2018
The other day I heard an interesting comment about Roanoke: "Everybody is the same, acts the same, and it stays the same, stagnant. People are not particularly sincere nor truthful so be careful. People are nice, most are comfortable, and unless you are "connected" no matter how skilled, qualified, experienced or educated you are, the doors slam in your face professionally and socially." I tend to agree adding single women are especially affected. People dress like slobs. and I am amazed. they go to work looking like that. Air travel is tedious, and in general it is a confining place to live. Is it a bad place to live? If this is what you like , no. Many areas are very pretty, and if you think these hills are mountains, you might be thrilled. You will have a plethora of taxes and fees, too, including personal property taxes on your autos.

All localities in Virginia have personal property taxes on autos. I find Roanoke to be more accepting and less stuffy than most places in Virginia.
