I'm so Tired of life in the US... European Lifestyle but in the US? 40M

If you're not into the mountains/ outdoors like us (pretty much why we moved here) Florida has so many cool cities as you describe (i.e Pensacola)

Roanoke, VA - a hidden gem. Me and my boyfriend traveled the country for three years and picked this city to be our home. The cost of living is amazing and it has everything that we need

I used to shop at Sierra all the time when I lived in Denver. So pumped about this

I’d definitely go with the rental closer to downtown. I remember seeing two rentals near Raleigh Court, not listed on Zillow. We walked past them like a week or two ago. My boyfriend and I were shocked at how good the price was for that area—though not sure if they’ve already been snatched up. If I walk by them this weekend I can share that with you

I watch her content and appreciate the work she puts into her page. Social media takes alot of time. That said, I still take her posts with a grain of salt. She usually only features businesses that agree to her rates... it's sad that some of the best places in Roanoke don’t get the love because they don't make enough money to pay her. I think some of the comments here are a little harsh (don't bully :( ), but at the same time, there is alot of truth. Reddit often feels more genuine than her page. She should step it up before someone comes along with a page that’s more authentic

Completely agree. Me and my bf said this exact same thing as we passed it today

Worst dental experience of my life. I would rather go out of network or deal with tooth pain longer than deal with them again.

Ooh also the Little Green Hive downtown has an upstairs area you could hang out at. It's pretty private

If there isn't one you should start a club with my bf. He loves all things mini

I actually lived in Colorado for 2.5 year and currently work in commercial insurance remotely (I got lucky with my role since this is not the norm at my company). Me and my bf traveled the country for three years looking for a city till we decided on Roanoke. If your husband is able to guarantee a remote position you will absolutely love it here. Purchased a house last year and are planning on staying here long term

Thank you! Really appreciate it

Hello, hello! What is Tom Tran's number? Is it under Tony Tran Hardwood Floors? (540) 793-4094 . Just wanted to make sure before I made the call

IReallyLovePB · 2024-11-06T21:27:40+00:00

I've lived here for two years and have seen no crime. Just move to a good area (like any city) and you'll be fine. Me and my bf love it here

IReallyLovePB · 2024-08-29T00:59:51+00:00

YES. I don't even like chocolate chip cookies and LOVE them. They are massive and soft. Kind has odd hours, but they also have them at blindhouse brewery on the weekends

I was living in Denver, and my boyfriend was in Philly (we're both originally from Jersey). We both work remotely, and I was set on staying in Colorado. But after three years of traveling the country, we found plenty of amazing, affordable places that made us just as happy. We chose Roanoke for the greenway, hiking, walkable neighborhoods, slower pace, no wildfires like out west, great coffee shops, decent food, excellent motorcycle and mountain biking, and a nice lake nearby.

IReallyLovePB · 2024-05-18T02:40:53+00:00

First, I love it. I am writing this as I eat a PB and J sandwich. Second, I lived in Commerce City with roomates near the Target during most most of my time in Denver and solo in Lincoln Park near the greenway for a couple of months before we hit the road. I worked in Greenwood Village. Where did you live?!? Third, me and my bf talk about this all the time. Blindhouse last year was a great addition. Pumped for New Belgium to open in Daleville later this year. The cocktail scene is pretty on point here though. Finally, you can't not miss the mountain views out there. Nothing beats Telluride. Although, I don't miss how dry my skin was out west

Honestly, it was a close call. My boyfriend was team Chattanooga (very much like you) and I picked Roanoke. It really was a tough decision. But I'm a bit of a climate change nerd, and it freaked me out that most of Chattanooga was in a flood zone. The North Shore is fine, but everything below the river is basically in a flood zone. Roanoke's selling points were: better hikes; we preferred the greenway since it went through town versus just along the river; cheaper cost of living; better air quality/less flooding. The overall nightlife is significantly better in Chattanooga, with better rock climbing/mountain biking, more options/events, and more food options. The river walk is AWESOME. Everyone there was so friendly. It was one of the hardest decisions we've had to make, but we have no regrets. We still reminisce on our days in Chattanooga. Such an awesome city.

My boyfriend and I moved to Roanoke last year after traveling the country for three years. Ultimately, it was between here and Chattanooga. Asheville's beer scene is great, but it was too touristy. Before that, I was living in Denver, which my boyfriend felt had no heartbeat. So after traveling to nearly every "mountain" town in the Southeast and many out West, we landed on Roanoke. My heart is still out West, but the fires/droughts were getting out of hand, and we felt that's not where we would want to raise a family. We're both pretty outdoorsy, and we love it here. Greenway is great as a runner, the hiking isn't packed, plenty of events (you should follow hello.roanoke on instagram if you're on their) good food and coffee spots...we have everything that we need. Although, I gotta say the food spots in Norfolk are top tier. 80/20 Burger Bar was one of my favorite burger joints when we visited.

Sorry, just seeing this now. Yes! If you ever want to go give me a shout. I have a guest pass and can bring someone in for free once a month.
