if he is talking about the lowes near botetourt, i can make that drive going a lil over the speed limit, in about 45 minutes... just take 460 the whole way... now if it is rush hour, then yeah it would take 1 hour 45 mins...

BTW, if you're wanting a nice size lot I think think the Lowe's/Valley View area is your best bet.
You can find some nice sized lots/houses for 250k-300k in SW Roanoke... Which is 15 mins from Salem and 15 minutes from Valley View depending on where you look in SW Roanoke.
It kind of forms a triangle with salem and NE if that makes sense. Good luck.

250-300k will get you a nice house in this area.i have a really good realtor that we just used if you're interested.of the dozens that we worked with,she was by far the best,and the only one that i actually liked

basically,anywhere close to the city in the county won't be too bad of a drive to Salem or either of the Lowe's.

ill be driveing up in the morning.. Leaven va beach at 4-5 am.. hopefully tomorrow afternoon Ill be driven around to get my bearings..
the issue is Ill be working at lowes (the one that 4 years old) up on 460 I think.. and my wife will probaly be opening the new one in salem, we also need to find a sitter. they wont be coming up until we sell in va beach. so i have some time to find a place.
as far as the realitor goes the company provides one for me.. if something happens Ill let you know and get her name..
once again thanks, and if you see a black truck with the hazards on and looks lost, yup thatll be me..

depending on where you end up living at,CDC may be a good choice for daycare.we take our son there,and it is by far the best place we found after lots od research.it's located on Peter's Creek Rd,right off 581.

Cave Spring area is very nice, really great schools if you plan to raise a family.
Avoid South East Roanoke (trashy)
Avoid areas around here like Melrose, etc.

Just to name a few..
You can get a general idea when you visit an area.
