Reasons to Live in Front Royal, Virginia
Nicknamed the “First stop to the Shenandoah Valley,” Front Royal, Virginia, is perfectly situated between the hustle and bustle of the D.C. metropolitan area and the pristine nature of the Shenandoah Valley. Because of this ideal location, Front Royal has grown into a thriving community of people looking to spend their time in the beautiful Blue Ridge countryside, while also not sacrificing the amenities of a major metropolitan area.
The Jewel of the Blue Ridge
Front Royal sits at the northernmost tip of the Shenandoah National Park, which stretches for 300 square miles through the mountains and is home to hiking and biking trails, swimming holes, waterfalls, camp sites and more. Front Royal is also known as the “Canoe Capital of Virginia” due to the popularity of exploring the Shenandoah River by canoe, kayak and floating tube. Because of the popularity of Shenandoah National Park, there is plenty of tourism revenue coming in to Front Royal, supporting local shops and small business owners.
Culture and Community - Downtown and Beyond
Front Royal’s Historic Main Street dates back to the town’s founding in 1788, and is home to historic buildings, museums, local shops and plenty of quality restaurants. The historic district also hosts festivals and parades throughout the year, especially family-friendly events. Front Royal residents have a strong sense of community, and love supporting local venues, musicians and artists, so there is always something to do on a Friday night, whether it’s a local concert, restaurant opening or an arts festival featuring artists from near and far.
Virginia is known for its wine, but Front Royal takes social sipping a step further with its diverse blend of breweries, wineries and distilleries. The Shenandoah Spirits Trail is an association of local distilleries, breweries, wineries, cideries and meaderies in the Shenandoah Valley who host events, tours and tastings throughout the year. More than just good wine and beer, these local businesses are where the community gathers to enjoy some good company, good music and good times.
