Pediatrics Residency

Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Roanoke is the perfect place to live during residency. The city offers an affordable cost of living in a variety of family-friendly neighborhoods, and has received numerous accolades for its livability, including being voted Top 100 Best Places to Live (Livability 2019), All-American Hall of Fame City (National Civic League 2019), and Best Place to Raise an Outdoor Family (Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine 2019, 2020). 

Roanoke has something to offer for everyone. It has the amenities of a big city with a wide variety of restaurants, breweries, museums, farmers’ markets, festivals, and more, but without the traffic. Perhaps Roanoke’s best asset though, is that the outdoors is never far away. Just steps from the hospital, residents have access to the Roanoke Greenways, a network of beautiful hiking/biking trails that run throughout the region. For the outdoor lover who wants to get a bit further away, Roanoke is ideally situated with easy access to the Appalachian Trial, Blue Ridge Parkway, Smith Mountain Lake, Roanoke River and James River. Explore more of what life in Roanoke has to offer using the links below.
