Hollins virgins is a very nice place to live. everything you need from downtown "night life" to the shopping centers is only 10 minute drive away. Several local restaurants in every direction. Is also quiet and somewhat rural. I would highly recommend. The only downfall is not a whole lot of things to do for children. But several big cities are only an hour or two away.
