Frequently Asked Questions about the Northside Zone

Is Northside High a good school?

Northside is a solid Roanoke County public high school with a growing AP program, competitive athletics, and a strong sense of community. Test scores trail Cave Spring and Hidden Valley but the gap is narrower than reputation suggests, and the value proposition (lower home prices) is significant.

How affordable is the Northside zone compared to South County?

Northside zone homes typically run 10-20% below comparable South County (Cave Spring or Hidden Valley) prices. For families willing to be in North Roanoke County, this can mean a larger home, a bigger yard, or a shorter mortgage. Commute times to downtown Roanoke are similar from either side.

What outdoor amenities are nearby?

Northside is the closest zone to Carvins Cove, a 12,000+ acre park with reservoir access, hiking, mountain biking, and fishing — one of the largest municipally-owned parks in the United States. Read Mountain Preserve is also in the zone, with trails and overlooks.
