Not only for its natural beauty but also for its community values and pace of life. People care. Civic organizations enjoy broad participation. Public and private schools rank among the best in the state. Crime rates are low. Housing is affordable. There is an ease to living in the Valley that's hard to beat.

From rural to urban, the Shenandoah Valley can accommodate any life style. The Valley's rich history is kept alive in living museums and libraries. The colleges and universities add to the cultural diversity of the region. Vibrant town centers, unique to each community, are a focal point for commerce and social activity featuring fine arts and crafts, music, festivals, performing arts and unique shops and restaurants.

A four-season climate means year-round outdoor recreational activities from skiing at Bryce,  Massanutten and Wintergreen resorts to golfing at the world-renowned Homestead Resort or one of the many championship golf courses in the region. National, state and local parks offer unlimited recreational opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing and camping. The Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway draw visitors from around the world to view the scenic vistas of the Shenandoah Valley.

The Shenandoah Valley Partnership promotes economic development in the counties of Augusta, Highland, Page, Rockbridge, Rockingham and Shenandoah; and the cities of Buena Vista, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Staunton and Waynesboro. Visit our Regional Data Center to link to Community Webs sites.
