The Roanoke Valley is located along Interstate 95 in northeastern North Carolina just south of the Virginia state line. Roanoke Rapids and Lake Gaston are approximately 90 miles from the Atlantic and the Outer Banks. We’re also about that same distance from both Raleigh NC, and Richmond VA, and only about a 3 hour drive to Washington DC. With great roadways and easy access to public transportation, we’re really not far from many exciting places.
