Zion Crossroads and Charlottesville are located east of the Shenandoah Valley, which begins at the top of Virginia and is approximately 140 miles long. With the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Allegheny Mountains to the west, this region is one of America’s original frontiers. The Shenandoah Valley is closely associated with Shenandoah National Park. Opened in 1935, the park encompasses nearly 200,000 acres along the Blue Ridge Mountains and can be accessed through the towns of Waynesboro, Luray, and Front Royal. The famous Appalachian Trail winds through the region, including a long stretch within Shenandoah National Park. There are also options to float through the Shenandoah Valley in canoes and kayaks.
Just 45 minutes from Charlottesville is one of America’s treasures - the Blue Ridge Parkway. It starts near Waynesboro, just outside Shenandoah National Park, then heads through Rockfish Gap, Virginia. The Parkway is 469 miles long and takes you to Cherokee, North Carolina, close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The slow-paced and relaxing drive is ideal for a 55-plus adventure, offering a continuous parade of stunning vistas of the rugged mountains and the pastoral landscapes of the Appalachian Highlands. The drive can vary throughout the year, as can activities such as hiking, bicycling, picnicking, and camping. The Blue Ridge Parkway connects Great Smoky Mountains National Park with Shenandoah National Park, encompassing some of the oldest examples of prehistoric and early European settlements.
To the west of the Blue Ridge Parkway lie the towns of Staunton, Fishersville and Waynesboro. Each provides its own bit of history and charm to the valley. Connected to the east of the Blue Ridge Mountains by Interstate 64 and the railroad, farming and mining were early businesses drawing people to this region. Farming continues to be a strong industry in this valley as are medical services and innovative manufacturing and technology. These new industries have the Shenandoah Valley population in growth mode. Cornerstone Homes' new communities in this region will be a welcome addition to the regions housing offerings.
