A Place to Call Home: Colby Shifflett
Colby Shifflett, REALTOR® Talks About Why He Loves Living in Staunton, VA
College Park | Staunton, VA
We sat down with Colby Shifflett, from our Augusta office, to find out what he loves most about living in Staunton.
I live in the College Park neighborhood of Staunton, Virginia (McSwain Elementary and Staunton High School districts), and my family and I love it here! We have great neighbors, and there is a genuine sense of warmth and community here. We're always looking out for each other, and it's always easy to say hello or offer neighborly help to one another. Life is a little bit slower, and southern hospitality is everywhere. Furthermore, my son really enjoys McSwain Elementary, and we have nothing but good things to say about the awesome teachers there. I would also like to highlight the plentiful programs available to us through Staunton Parks and Rec and the local YMCA.
