The Dan River Region, which encompasses the City of Danville and Pittsylvania County, Virginia, is a region brimming with natural beauty, history and the friendliest people you will find anywhere. Whether you are interested in a place in the country, new construction, stately historic homes, townhouses, or downtown condo living, there is a home for you.

Located in south-central Virginia on the Virginia-North Carolina border, the Region enjoys all four seasons, no traffic issues and is a great place to raise a family or to retire. For travelers, we are located a short distance from Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Additionally, the Amtrak train stops in Danville taking passengers to New York City, Washington, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Charlotte, NC.

The area offers recreation galore including a scenic River Walk for walking and biking, the State’s premiere mountain bike trails, and many beautiful parks for picnicking. For the sports enthusiasts, there is something for everyone: golf, tennis, fishing, hunting, the Danville Braves minor league baseball, racing from NASCAR to world-class road racing at Virginia International Raceway.

For Museum lovers and history buffs, there is the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History, located in the Sutherlin Mansion located on Millionaires Row. This was the final stop for Confederate President Jefferson Davis; thus Danville is known as the “Last Capital of the Confederacy.” Other area museums include the American Armoured Foundation Tank Museum with the largest collection of military memorabilia in the world, and the Danville Science Center, a satellite of the Science Museum of Virginia.

The Region is also home to Averett University, a liberal arts university which offers concerts, lectures and sporting events throughout the year, as well as Danville Community College, offering learning opportunities for adults of all ages.
