And if that isn't enough to convince you, we have listed  5 reasons why buying a home in Lewisburg is a great choice.

  1.  The privilege to have a home near historical landmarks.

  2.  Beautiful views.

  3.  Wide range of affordable home choices.

Affordability and community are the two main things that most Americans consider when buying a home. Based on these factors, more and more people are choosing Lewisburg as their home.

Let's look further at each reason we've listed for buying a home in Lewisburg.

1. The privilege to have a home near historical landmarks.

Located in the picturesque county of Greenbrier, Lewisburg is indeed a must-see. One of the attractions that make tourists travel to this city is the many historical landmarks. The city's chest of historic treasures includes century-old theatres and museums.

You will find almost every historic architectural style you can imagine. These designs and styles range from Victorian Gothic to Mid-Century Modern. A lot of residential homes can have those fantastic styles too. A day tour is not enough to see everything that the city offers. 

If you live in or near Lewisburg, you have a lot of time to explore the gem that Lewisburg is. To entice you a little more, we made a brief itinerary for you:

  • Theaters. This city of 3800 plus residents is home to one of the four Carnegie Halls in the world. This world-renowned auditorium is a popular tourist attraction. Watching artistic performances is something to look forward to once you are a new town resident. And since you're only a few minutes drive away, you can conveniently visit them anytime. Lewis Theatre and Greenbrier Valley Theatre are in Lewisburg too.
  • Museums. If theaters are not your thing, there are plenty of museums here too. The famous Greenbrier Historical Social and North House Museum are in Lewisburg also. Are you a history buff? If yes, you are in luck! There is so much history here in Lewisburg.

 2. Beautiful views.

Lewisburg is lucky to be located in one of the country's scenic states. West Virginia is called "Mountain State" for a reason. Its location is within the Appalachian Mountains region, and it's right next to the Mississippi River. Rivers and mountains right next to each other are a glimpse of heaven on earth.

Several of the famous sights in the Mountain State are notable for their natural beauty. A lot of those breath-taking views are in Lewisburg.

Imagine paradise being a few blocks away from your doorstep. Heaven on earth, indeed!

The Lost World Caverns is one of the popular attractions in Lewisburg. Visitors here descend 120 feet below the ground into a century-old cavern. The deep parts of the cave reveal big and glowing stalactites. The Lost World Caverns is one of the many places you will get to visit while living here.

3. Wide range of affordable home choices.

The city has a median home value of around $30,000 lower than the country's average. There is no question of why more people opt to buy their own home instead of rent here in Lewisburg.

In anything we buy, price is most often the first thing we check. This rule also applies when buying homes. Lewisburg will give you a wide range of choices from country cottages to luxury homes. The good thing about them is they're affordable. 

Get your finances in order. Talk to your mortgage broker about how much house you can afford. Buying your dream house is a considerable investment. There's always more to it than just the purchase price.

4. Affordable cost of living

Housing is not the only thing that's inexpensive in Lewisburg. The overall cost of living index in Lewisburg is 90.7. That’s 10% lower than the national average. The commodities looked into are transportation, utilities, groceries, health, and miscellaneous. Lewisburg ranked more economical than the U.S. average for all of these living expenses.

The cost of living is an essential factor to consider. You may be able to afford the house of your dreams, but if the living expenses eat up your budget, it's going to be hard to enjoy your home. You will most likely look for a different property because you can't afford to live in the house you bought.

These expenses will be the least of your worries when you buy a home in Lewisburg. Groceries and utilities eat up a big part of everyone's budget. If the cost of those were less, you have more money to spend on other things you can enjoy in the city. You can use the money you saved to take advantage of the many recreational activities offered by Lewisburg.

5. Safe community

With a crime rate that's almost 10% lower than the national average, Lewisburg is no doubt safe. Cost, environment, and community are essential things to consider, but scoring a great real estate deal turns into waste without peace of mind and security.

I'm ready to buy a home in Lewisburg. What's the next step for me?

The first step is to get a smart and reliable realtor. Buying a home is one of the biggest transactions you will ever make. Things can be complicated and frustrating, but it does not have to be a long process with the help of a real estate agent. Getting an expert will give you that dream home in Lewisburg without much hassle.

For a smooth and stress-free home hunting in Lewisburg, don't randomly pick any real estate agent. Find a broker with an extensive knowledge of the neighborhood and a good track record.
