Belspring

Belspring offers the perfect blend of peaceful rural living and modern convenience in Virginia's stunning New River Valley, situated at 1,778 feet above sea level in beautiful Pulaski County with breathtaking mountain views and fresh mountain air that creates an ideal environment for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. This charming census-designated place provides residents with a close-knit community atmosphere where neighbors know each other and maintain strong Southern hospitality, while being strategically located just minutes from major amenities including Virginia Tech (11 miles), New River Community College, and easy access to Interstate 81 for regional connectivity. Outdoor enthusiasts love Belspring's proximity to world-class recreational opportunities including the famous New River Trail State Park (a 57-mile rails-to-trails system perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding), Claytor Lake State Park for boating and swimming, and excellent fishing along the historic New River - one of the world's oldest rivers. The area features affordable housing with most residents owning their homes, above-average public schools, and a low cost of living that's significantly below national averages, making it an attractive option for families, retirees, and anyone seeking small-town charm. Belspring residents enjoy the best of both worlds: the peace and space of rural mountain living with mild winters and lovely summers, while being within reasonable driving distance of larger cities like Roanoke (36 miles) and all the cultural, educational, and employment opportunities of the thriving New River Valley region, including access to major employers like Volvo Trucks and other international companies that call Pulaski County home.
