The good thing about Virginia is you can actually protect yourself and your property if an intruder is trespassing.Homeowners can also fire their weapons on their personal property without repercussions from local police as long as they are protecting their property or using target practice targets on their property.Gotta love Virginia for that alone.
@@thomascrawford6262 ok so the Lynchburg metro area consists of the City of Lynchburg, Campbell County, Bedford County, Amherst County, and Appomattox County. Like I said most everywhere is good, but some places I would warn about are, most of the neighborhoods around downtown, however downtown itself is good. Parts of Altavista and Brookneal can be iffy (towns 30 to 40 mins south of Lynchburg). Honestly that's all I can think about right now.
I have lived in downtown Lynchburg for nine years now and it is pretty safe. Coming from places like Savannah, Charlotte, and Asheville it has always felt safer than those cities. Yes I have been panhandled a handful of times and actually have bought meals for homeless folks a few times who begged me for food, but in nine years I've never had any serious issues here. And I've walked from the Amtrak Station to my condo on Jefferson numerous times and to my friends house in Garland Hill late in evenings. Granted I'm also a pretty big guy so your experience may vary. Some days I forget to lock my door and I live on the Bluffwalk pedestrian mall downtown. I've also lived car- free here for all nine years downtown and haven't experienced too many issues getting around by foot, bike, or transit in all those years. Now you should always have common sense and be aware of your surroundings especially at night, but TBH I've experienced more crazy things go down in a single weekend in New Orleans and Cincinnati than I have here... You'd really have to go out of your way to find trouble here, though random acts of violence can happen here just like anywhere.
Just testing the waters...I ran across your channel. Thinking of selling my house in upstate NH. $300k/ 3,000 sf 8 ski areas within 10 miles, snowmobile trails, MAJOR tourist area...location, location....in fact, Littleton was nominated best small town in U.S. AGAIN 4th time- Anyway, too much upkeep for me weather and looking for more work opportunities Thinking of a $100k fixer upper on 1-2A in that area. 🤔
AMAZING info !!!! Now if inventory would increase ... we want to move to Lynchburg ... we are up north right now ... hard to move while living out of state ... will keep your contact info
Thanks for watching! Reach out anytime to say hello. We can always talk about logistics and things we can do while you’re out of state. Looking forward to connecting.
Been in Lynchburg (county then moved into the city) for few decades now. Had a bank robber run through my yard escaping police in Campbell county back in the 90s. Moved to 24501, and had a break in a few years ago that was intense because I caught the guy. Had stuff stolen from my car in the county and city, but more in the county. Murder wise I feel like we’re doing way better than Roanoke or Danville.
Wow. You've had your share of experiences. Thanks for sharing! You need to be alert...no matter where you are. But I do feel good about the overall public safety in the Lynchburg area.
I can't help but laugh at the comments of people thinking that 3 or 4 homicides a year is ALOT. My husband and I are searching for somewhere in VA to move to for our upcoming retirement. I was born in southern VA and lived there half my life, but have been in the central Piedmont area in NC (different towns/cities/counties) for the last 30 years. And I can tell you there's atleast that many homicides PER DAY around here now! All the nice safe areas turned sooo bad over the years so I kept moving to other towns and counties trying to stay ahead of the ones that would go down hill in a two year period. I'm in complete shock everyday to witness just how bad and how fast not only the cities, but the small surrounding towns have turned into ghettos with gang violence, and I'm not even talking about Charlotte or Raleigh/Durham areas that's always been notorious for crime either. You can't drive to Winston Salem, Greeneboro or High Point, Burlington, Lexington, etc, now without being afraid you'll become a victim of a violent crime even if it's being hit by a stray bullet from some thug. And it's sad that you have to drive to these places for medical specialists, not to mention we gave up trying to shop in these cities for safety reasons years ago. So, hearing that Lynchburg has only a few homicides per year sounds like a much safer place to live than in NC. Crime keeps getting worse everywhere in NC because of so-called "progress" of business/ industry. All that does is spread the crime from the bigger crimes to the surrounding smaller towns that were actually safe places to live just a couple of years ago. Our search for a safe town makes us proactive in finding somewhere that WILL STAY safer over the next 5-10-15 years and not turn into the wild west because of developmental economic progress. And Lynchburg is sounding pretty good to us now after researching every city in VA over the last few months. Thank you Mr Miller for your wonderful and honest videos on your city. God bless!
Thanks for watching Brenda. Everything about moving somewhere and "this area" and "that area" is certainly relative. That's why I never tell anyone, "You should live here!" I don't know what they're accustomed to...what their definition of "busy" is, or "rural", or "urban", or "high crime" or "low crime", etc. Taxes, gas prices, and on and on. It's relative to what you have known and experienced. I appreciate the kind words. And I do stand behind this; I've found Lynchburg to be a nice place to live and quite friendly. (Of course, that's relative to what I've known and experienced too.) ;)
I have not lived in NC but I’m from Ma lived in NY and CO but now that I’m in Greenville sc been here ten years I have been assaulted on Main Street at 9pm cracked my head open, blood everywhere, I have had moped stolen, I have been held at gun point for another moped in July of 2020 I get asked for money or cigs almost every day I work at Burger King and there crashes and police fire trucks almost every day across the street. Greenville sc is not safe place to live, for last 9 years I have been thinking about Virginia or West Virginia I may take train to Lynchburg va in April I bet it’s 100 times safer even at night then Greenville sc
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL HERE WHO LIVE IN LYNCHBURG: IS THERE A BUILDING THAT USE TO BE A SCHOOL, THAT WAS CONVERTED INTO HOUSING FOR SEXUAL OFFENDERS? DOES ANYBODY KNOW?!
This is a good question! I don’t know the answer. Maybe one of the viewers does. (You can check zip codes, addresses, etc here sex-offender.vsp.virginia.gov/sor/zipSearch.html )
Lynchburg having three or four homicides in a year. Yes that is tragic but that's preferable to the number of homicides in places like Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, and Hampton. I lived in that area and I would see the reports. As for joining Lynchburg Police I'm afraid not. I'm retired law enforcement in the area I mentioned and I'm in my 60's and I'm too old for that occupation.

Thanks for watching. I'm getting ready to do an updated video on crime in the area soon.
Lynchburg area is safe in general but there definitely some areas you want to stay away from. Both in the city and in the counties
What cities and counties name them I want move there for the ramp church

Can you help us find a 3br house to rent near centra hospital?
Give me a call sometime and we can talk about what you're looking for and how I might be able to help.
I'm actually moving to Lynchburg from the deep south, I've visted a few times there and I find the culture of people in Lynchburg to be pretty cool.
That’s great Jamel. Welcome!
If you need a REALTOR, hit me up.
Worst place I’ve ever lived.
I witness at least 5 shootings every week where I live. & that's on a slow week. It's not good out here.
That isn’t good!

Thanks for your service.
And true…no number of homicides is “ok”, but there are places with much worse numbers.
There been 5 homicides since January 1st here...
It does look like this will be a higher year for homicide count. Hopefully, there are no more!
Ngl i stay in the burg and keeping it real wit yu its way more homicides that happen that actually don't go seen
I'm thinking about moving 🤔 to Lynchburg again. I will be in touch with you
