Lynchburg is probably the largest small town in Virginia. The downtown and riverfront are quaint, walkable, and have a couple of decent restaurants. It’s been transformed over the last 10years with the old buildings having been renovated into lofts.
Don’t know if we could live there because we enjoy traffic, rude people, bad drivers, gas stations and strip malls on every corner too much, but we visit family periodically so we’re familiar.
The op house is not in the better part of town which is where this house is.

The latter they put easily a million or two or thee into renovating it top to bottom, inside and out. The houses on this side of Rivermont out to Trent’s Ferry are old money, doctors, lawyers, business and self made types.
