Good food, nearby

Great (very large) hamburgers, just a few minutes away. One of my favorite burgers in town (see also Burger in the Square and Ernie's [only open for lunch]).

Good Indian food, nearby. Last time I checked the menu didn't have butter chicken, but they'll happily make it, and it's my favorite dish there.

People love this restaurant, and it's close. I personally think it's fine, but I've worked hard to develop cheap tastes, and so it's fancier than I usually eat.

Good pizza, nearby. I think the personal size pizzas are the best; the ingredient ratios are better than the full size pies. I also really like Frank's Pizza on Brambleton. I think neither deliver though.

Walk, run, bike, hike

Nearby access to Roanoke River Greenway. Very nice area to walk, run, or bike.

Iconic Roanoke landmark with nice view. Several nice hiking, running, and mountain biking trails, and good roads for road biking (I like to go up Prospect Rd. SE, which is closed to cars, but down J P Fishburn Parkway). Also good biking access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Roanoke Mountain (closed, but you can still bike / hike / run up there).

Sightseeing

Nice old theater, nearby. Reasonably priced and serves craft beer. The main theater is a classy old theater, the others are small but still pleasant.
