Quiet Well-Maintained 3BR Apt - Many extras

Wonderful apartment for those looking for a quiet, well-maintained place to live. Our units open up randomly throughout the year as we assist our residents by posting their units as soon as they let us know they are moving and will no longer need the residence. The majority of our residents renew year after year and move only when they no longer need a rental residence in the Blacksburg area. 1849 E currently will be available approx August 01, 2011-- please ask for more details.

Kitchen + Living Room + Bath + 3 other rooms with great closets + Large pantry closets. One room is a natural as a master bedroom. Two others could be a bedroom, an office, dining room, or guest bedroom. IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum of two residents permitted by code.

Excellent options to reduce costs of heating and cooling. Heat Pump (AC & heat exchanger), FIVE ceiling fans, wall heaters, storm windows and storm door with screen. PLUS: zone climate control possible as there are ALSO individual heaters with blowers in each room AND the walls of each room are insulated.

Great views from ALL windows. We provide blinds but you probably will not want to close them! It would be very hard for anyone to see in since you look down a hill and over the top of Blacksburg clear over to the mountains!

You will be living across the street from the large homes in the Stroubles Mill portion of Hethwood subdivision. While only a 10-15 minute walk from Foxridge; you will be enjoying a tranquil, country setting and very easy parking. Convenient to VT, Blacksburg, and, also, Radford and Christiansburg. Usually quicker to come home and park than if live in Hethwood because there is no traffic, stop signs nor need to hunt for a parking space!
Only 15-20 minutes by bike path to the middle of VT campus.
15 min to NRV Mall and Wal-Mart.
5 minutes to the supermarket.
8 minutes to hospital.
BT bus a few blocks walk.
EZ bike ride via the bike trail to Kipps Elementary and the Blacksburg Middle School.

To find: Take Prices Fork Road. Go one block from Food Lion and the Fire Station. Just past Kipps Elementary and the Blacksburg Middle School, turn Left onto Merrimac Road. Cox's miniature golf, driving range and batting cages are on the opposite corner. It is 1.3 miles to the back of Hethwood subdivision and the foot of our driveway for 1849 and 1855 Merrimac Road.
On website there is a map and, even, aerial photos of Blacksburg showing the location of our rental properties.

Large Ceiling fans in all rooms. CAT5 and TV Cable to all rooms. High speed cable available. New wiring, new plumbing. Wired in smoke detectors. Thick firewalls. Extensive renovations done with close involvement by building inspectors.

The amount of built-in kitchen storage will surprise you. Flexible closet space.
Place to store bicycles out of the weather under the porch. Do you have a canoe? If so, there is plenty of room to store it too!

Please come see how many nice amenities we have put in Forests Edge.

County Water included. Low heating bills because zoned heat and all walls insulated.
Sound proofed between rooms inside unit as well as between units. Extremely rare to hear neighbors (or their TV) at all! No dogs allowed; so no barking, yellow spots or other “surprises” on the lawns.
Definitely not a place for noisy weekly parties.
Nice balcony/covered porch. Place set aside for your barbecue grill

Non-smokers only.
No smoking on porches so you can enjoy fresh air from the square miles of open fields and woods just off the balcony or Keep your windows open! Much wildlife to watch. Bird lovers, check out this location!
Explore the woods outside your door; yet, be across the street from the largest established subdivision in Blacksburg. Best of both worlds!
Birds hovering around bird feeders have been the loudest critters on the premises!

Most well-cared-for, caged pets are welcome. A policy of no uncaged (so no urine smells in the carpeting or scratches on walls, doors or cabinets) or noisy pets (examples: loud parrots or barking dogs) helps us to maintain the tranquility and cleanliness of our units. We gutted much of the buildings repairing things with quality materials in a way so they should continue to appear recently renovated.

Allergy sufferers: Since no smoking or uncaged pets since renovations, this has eliminated many common allergens!

We want residents to be happy and to renew year after year (most of our residents do); so we try hard to keep our promise of trying hard to provide a nice place to live undisturbed by neighbors’ noise.
There are lawns and woods to enjoy. If you like to garden, let us know! We are still working on them and enjoy the help. We have renovated the properties inside and out.

Forests Edge is like a small neighborhood. Only a maximum of 8 residents in the entire four-unit building and 4 residents in the house on the same 2.5 acres.
Landlord tries hard to make residents comfortable. Most of our residents renew year after year.

Lots and lots of off-street parking for you and your visitors.

Please look at our website to see more images of the unit. Click on the picture of the white building to get to photos and floor plans. All the photos will give you an idea about the premises. Specific photos of each unit say the unit’s name in the caption. This unit is 1849 E Merrimac Road, Blacksburg, VA.

Anticipate availability by August 1st. However, it might be available sometime earlier; please ask! We aim for a minimum of one year leases with the ending dates being the last week of July; so preference will be given to people who will commit to a lease through July 2011.
Please ask about the flexibility this landlord builds into the lease to change the ending date to save residents money. For example, since current residents are moving out of the area, they have said we should list their unit as available.
There is a savings if sign multi-year lease because the rent will be “locked-in”.

Optional: Less-than-cost monthly fee for use of very, very clean laundry room on-site with like new front loading washer and dryer. No coins needed.

Due to the economy and sudden changes in plans, other units are suddenly coming available Summer 2010. All have different floor plans. Please ask about them as well. Routinely we assist people to find someone to start the next lease early when people graduate or change jobs in May or December. It has been a bizarre year with people suddenly needing to relocate. Fortunately, they have rented with us and we are willing to work with them to minimize the costs!

Please visit our website for lots of pictures and floorplans. Again, please contact us to get the website address. You can email us at office@FORESTs-EDGE.com Hint: our website is very similar to our e-mail address
