See What Others are Saying About Hermitage Roanoke
“The location here is great. It’s close to everything and the transportation service is excellent. Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment or shopping, there is always transportation scheduled. We looked at other communities, some with tiny apartments that would not serve our purposes, and two others that were large, sprawling communities with hundreds of residents. When we first came here it just felt like home—and it feels more like home every day.”
Walt and Dee Burch – ResidentsFun Facts
