What it’s like
The place. Kenbridge is a small town in Lunenburg County, Virginia, where people tend to know one another. Household incomes here run higher than across the county, and the typical home is modest in price. Winters are cool, with a little snow, and summers turn hot, with steady rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, shops, and professional and business services. Across Lunenburg County, the largest workplaces include Lunenburg County Public Schools, Virginia Marble Manufacturers and Food Lion. A small share of people work from home, and the county's job count has barely changed over the past year.
Things to do. Cumberland State Forest, a protected area, is a short drive away, and the Little Nottoway River is close by as well. For a longer outing, Kerr Lake, a large reservoir, and Twin Lakes State Park, another protected area, are each a longer drive away.
