Considering a Move to Lynchburg, VA-What Do I Need to Know?

Like the title says, I may be looking at a move down to Lynchburg or the surrounding vicinity in the next 6 months or so. What do I need to know about the area? I've lived in Stafford for the past 3 years so I won't need to worry about getting a new CC permit or license or anything. Where's a good place to look for housing? Closest military installation?

Its kind of funny because I just drove almost 3 hours one way to get my truck from Berglund Toyota because it was the only 6spd DC within driving distance of me, now I find out I may be getting transferred there. I'd imagine there are plenty of places to go wheeling in the area, are many members active from Lynchburg?

 

college town of Liberty Uni, but not bad.

 

i've heard its a pretty nice area, i've only been there to pick up my truck. i think there are lots of universities in the area there.

 

It is a very nice area. The winters are not to bad, cold but very little snow. We had the worst winter in 20+ years last year. I think you will like it, not as busy or crowded as stafford. I am about 50 miles south in Danville.

banjoes go well with trucks...

 

I live not to far from Lynchburg. It's not to bad, most people say it's a little boring. I also bought my Tacoma from Berglund Toyota.

 

i've got a family to raise, i can do a little boring

 

I have heard from multiple people that that is one of the best places to raise a kid.

Plus lots of wheeling around, but you will need some sliders

its looking like a toss up between lynchburg and harrisonburg right now. i don't think i can go wrong with either choice, it just depends on where i get stationed.

 

I spent alot of time in Harrisonburg ( My wife graduated from JMU). I personally like Lynchburg over Harrisonburg, but both are nice

what do you like better about lynchburg if you dont mind me asking?

 

In that case it's perfect! This is Jerry Falwell country so it's fairly family friendly.
