"Moving into the city from Henry County was a good thing. Uptown has cultural events throughout the year and the neighborhood I live in is quiet. The park is centralized and includes basketball courts, skate board park, disc-golf course and numerous picnic areas and playgrounds. The traffic is moderate--more than the county but nothing compared to the bigger cities. Rania's offers fine dining dowtown and there are numerous chain restaurants available. The area is conveniently located between Danville, Greensboro, and Roanoke. Highway 58 connects us directly to Virginia Beach (it turns into Virginia Beach Boulevard and then into 25th Street at the beach!) and 220 connects us north and south to Roanoke and Greensboro. Great place to live!"

"Martinsville VA is a small town with many positive qualities. Great place to raise children. Schools constantly improving. Cost of living is excellent. Great for retirees and couples raising children. Close knit . Adequate shopping for groceries, pharmacy and clothing. All near-by the neighborhoods. The Forest Park/Mullberry Rd area is the best in town. Several excellent subdivisions just outside city limits. Great outdoor activity area. More sophisticated shopping means going to Greensboro, 48 min away, easy trip or Roanoke, same distance North and easy trip. Local hospital is fine enough physicians of all types so it is not necessary to leave town to see doctor. However, excellent medial facilities for very serious problems close enough to use. Winston Salem Baptist Hospital, Hospitals in Greensboro NC and Roanoke and even Duke are withing striking distance. Have lived here for last 12 years. Lived in Central Florida, Pittsburgh, PA, Columbus Ohio suburbs. This area most like central Florida in political/social views. Only drawback for me. All in all a fine place to live. "
