There's a large possibility my husband, daughter and I will be relocating to the Galax area from the Roanoke area. I've been perusing all the Galax/Grayson County websites and I must say, I have fallen in love with the area and I've not even visited it yet. One thing that stood out to me, while a minor detail to some, were the sidewalks in town. My daughter requires a wheelchair, and I'm always noticing whether I'll be able to let her enjoy everything the general population does.
We'll initially be looking for a rental house, but I can see us eventually purchasing a house and making our home there. I'm hoping to visit within the next week or so and look around.....
So tell me, if we move there, will we be "Galaxians" or "Galaxers"? Either way, I'll be proud to say I'm a resident in such a fine area.
Seth . . . . . Its gonna be hard
My first tip for you is to go for a rental unit to deposit your stuff and then search for a house, it will be much easier for you to face the relocation process. I had an office relocation in Galax and it wasn't too difficult to adapt. The place is really nice if you're into countryside landscapes.
Welcome to the boonies...
Don't do it. Galax suuuuuucks.
Im 31 and single and about to move to Galax. Im coming from a college town home of the Hogs in Arkansas. I do like beautiful countryside and outdoor activities. A concern I have is meeting people my own age who have similar interests. Does the town have a fitness center,theatre,etc. Where do people go on the weekends? The job Im taking there seems like it will be a great opportunity for me I just concerned about the social aspect of living there.
