Danville is an affordable, compact city with a walkable historic downtown, a growing arts and food scene, riverfront trails and plenty of weekend outdoor options—an easy, livable spot for multi-week travel therapy contracts where coffee shops, local events and short drives fill evenings and days off.
Bigger-city options are close: Greensboro (~45 miles) and Lynchburg (~70 miles) are within roughly an hour to 90 minutes for airports, nightlife and extra dining or cultural options.
