Lifestyles

Residents of the Bluefield area readily acknowledge the high quality of life here. Few communities can match the amenities of the Bluefields. Many larger cities proclaim to be two to three hours from the mountains, while the Bluefields are in the mountains, located along the foothills of one of the most beautiful valley settings to be found anywhere.

East River Mountain peaks at 3,400 feet to form a natural border between West Virginia and Virginia. The high elevation of the Bluefields helps moderate summer heat and humidity, offering a pleasant breeze even on the hottest day.

No matter what the time of year, beauty encompasses the area. The whites and blues of winter, the greening of the mountains in the spring, the sunny glow of a comfortable 75 degree summer day and brilliant colors of fall are hues of the four distinct seasons that arrive each year in breathtaking fashion. An overlook tops East River Mountain, offering spectacular views of seasonal changes.

The mild climate of Bluefield makes it easy to enjoy fishing, hiking, hunting, golfing, and many more leisurely outdoor activities.
