What is South Roanoke like?
South Roanoke is a historic, walkable neighborhood just southeast of downtown Roanoke. It sits along the Roanoke River to the north and the slopes of Mill Mountain to the east. The area is centered on Crystal Spring Avenue, with the Crystal Spring Village serving as a local commercial hub of shops, cafés, and services. Its borders include neighborhoods like Southern Hills to the south, Franklin-Colonial to the west, and South Jefferson to the north.
Because of its terrain and river proximity, many lots are sloped, tree-lined, and offer views toward the Roanoke Valley. The Mill Mountain ridge and the iconic Roanoke Star are prominent natural landmarks in view. The River’s Edge Park and portions of the Roanoke River Greenway are amenities that outdoor loving residents deeply appreciate.
Charming and Varied
Architecturally, many homes were built in the early 20th century. Styles include Queen Anne, American Foursquare, Colonial Revival, Tudor cottages, and bungalow types. Infill and renovation are active trends, especially where historic homes can be modernized while retaining character.
One more thing to note: parts of South Roanoke overlap or lie near the Southwest Historic District, meaning that some exterior changes, rooflines, window types, and materials may be regulated or guided by preservation norms
How is the real estate market in South Roanoke?
The housing market in South Roanoke tends to be competitive, with relatively low inventory and steady interest. On any given day, there tends to be about 20-30 active listings in the area, with a median listing price of $575,000. Redfin reports the median sale price in August 2025 as $544,500, up about 8.9% year-over-year.
Some specific listings illustrate the range:
A 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath home at 3501 Peakwood Dr SW is listed around $1,800,000.
A 4-bed, 3 bath home at 3164 West Ridge Rd SW is listed near $875,000.
A 4-bed, 3 bath, 3,487 sq ft home near 714 Wildwood Rd SW is listed at $589,000.
Homes in South Roanoke often stay on market for around 40 days, compared to ~52 days for the U.S. average. Expect price per square foot and days on market to vary depending on views, lot topography, condition, and historic status.
In the past year, South Roanoke has shown moderate appreciation, and many buyers are drawn to the walkability, neighborhood feel, and proximity to downtown.
Because of the limited supply, buyers often must act decisively when homes come on the market, especially in desirable sub-areas near Crystal Spring or riverfront lots.
Plenty of Variety for Every Buyer Type
For buyers, South Roanoke offers a mix of opportunities: early 20th-century homes with historic details, mid-century houses on wooded lots, and modern renovations in walkable areas. Because inventory can be tight, buyers often need to act quickly when the right home comes on the market.
It’s also important for buyers to understand the area’s historic overlays and terrain. Some homes may be within the Southwest Historic District, which affects renovation options, while hillside properties require attention to drainage and grading. J & D Realty guides buyers through inspections, financing, and negotiations, making sure you know exactly what you’re getting. With our local insight, you’ll have an advantage in finding a South Roanoke home that fits both your lifestyle and budget.
Selling Your Home in South Roanoke
Selling a home in South Roanoke is often about highlighting character and location. Many properties here are historic, with styles like Colonial Revival or Tudor cottage, and buyers are drawn to that charm. Showcasing updates that blend with original features—like modern kitchens or energy-efficient windows that fit the historic look—can make a big difference. Homes near Crystal Spring Avenue, River’s Edge Park, or with Mill Mountain views tend to attract strong interest when marketed correctly.
An Extra Competitive Micro Market
Pricing is another key factor. Because South Roanoke has such a range—from smaller bungalows to multi-million-dollar estates—working with agents who understand the micro-markets is critical. J & D Realty helps sellers set the right price, prepare for inspections, and market homes with photos, staging, and local connections that bring in qualified buyers. With demand strong and inventory limited, the right strategy can help you sell quickly and at a good value.
