The Amherst market

Amherst County stretches north of the James River from the river bottoms up into the Blue Ridge, and the housing reflects that range. Madison Heights sits right across the river from downtown Lynchburg as an affordable commuter area, while the town of Amherst and the countryside around Sweet Briar College are quieter and more rural.

Value here depends on whether a home is in the commuter belt near the river or out on the scenic, mountain-view acreage that defines much of the county.

Scenic mountain-view properties and agricultural acreage on one end, and Madison Heights' role as an affordable commuter hub across the river from Lynchburg on the other. Proximity to Lynchburg and lot character are the main factors.
