THE RIVER CITY

Radford is a vibrant, "compact city" defined by its stunning riverfront and the youthful energy of Radford University. It offers a rare combination of high energy culture and tranquil natural beauty.

Riverfront Living

With over 200 acres of municipal parkland along the New River, residents enjoy unparalleled access to kayaking, tubing, and world class smallmouth bass fishing.

Bisset Park

The crown jewel of the city, this sprawling park is the heartbeat of the community, hosting festivals, sports, and miles of shaded walking trails.

A Creative Spirit

The downtown "West End" is experiencing a modern revival, featuring local breweries like Longway Brewing (housed in a beautiful old church) and quirky cafes that reflect the city's artistic and academic roots.
