Welcome to Christiansburg

A peaceful, urban town and New River Valley’s commercial hub
 
Nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and New River Valley, Christiansburg, Virginia, is a peaceful urban town with a population of around 22,000. Named for famed frontiersman and brother-in-law to Patrick Henry, Christiansburg has since evolved from its 1972 establishment into the valley's commercial hub. Before then, Christiansburg was primarily a collection of taverns and rest stops, but it has since become one of the best places to buy a home due to the relatively low cost of living. 
 
Residents appreciate the city's accessibility, with the popular Huckleberry Trail providing easy access to and from neighboring Blacksburg. Home to a historic downtown district, ten diverse parks, 70 restaurants, 15 hotels, and one of the last remaining drive-in theaters, there is plenty to love about Christiansburg. Residents have their pick of places to shop, dine, live, and play.
