1973748377970Quiet Well-Maintained 3BR Apt Tree Top ViewsWonderful apartment for one to two people looking for a quiet, well-maintained place to live. Come see why the majority of our residents renew year after year and move only when they no longer need a rental residence in the Blacksburg area. -- Click into the listing for contact information, pictures and details.This unit has amazing extra space and great closets! The view is spectacular, the new Brazilian hardwood entrance and covered porch is beautiful.The new kitchen exhaust system has a silencer and variable speed control; so you can keep cooking odors and grease from becoming a cleaning chore. This new exhaust fan needs the timer we installed because it is so quiet, you will forget the fan is running!The insulation in the attic is great, plus there is a thermal break to add to the energy savings, plus there is a reflective standing seam metal roof overhead. The neighborhood is safe. There are many, many great features to this unit.The maximum number of residents is 2 because of the health department regulations.Since there has been no smoking and no uncaged pets in the building since major renovations, the place is very, very clean and quiet and you can leave your windows open to enjoy the fresh air. This unit has a heatpump, but you will rarely need it in the summer except, perhaps, to remove the Blacksburg humidity. In the cooler months, you will save money by only heating the rooms you are using since there are individual thermostatically controlled wall heaters in each room and each room is insulated from the other rooms in the unit as well as from the adjacent units. The soundproofing between rooms and units is remarkably effective!Thank you for considering this unit.01150001849 E Merrimac Road near Prices Fork RoadBlacksburgVA2406012010-06-21 18:05:432018-08-21 21:58:12apartment31.001150002019-08-01available00010.00000000000000000.0000000000000000none112235subscription2019-02-27 13:29:050/va/blacksburg/112235-quiet-well-maintained-3br-apt-tree-top-views/images/87/78/877856_640x480.jpg/images/87/78/877857_640x480.jpg/images/87/78/877863_640x480.jpg/images/87/80/878079_640x480.jpg/images/87/81/878127_640x480.jpg/images/87/81/878140_640x480.jpg/images/25/66/25669512_640x480.jpg/images/87/81/878142_640x480.jpg/images/87/81/878143_640x480.jpg/images/14/60/1460737_640x480.jpg/images/14/60/1460758_640x480.jpg/images/14/60/1460760_640x480.jpg/images/87/78/877856_640x480.jpglands1973248377970Quiet Apt-Great Kitchen-Hardwood-Low Utility Address: 1849 C Merrimac Road near Prices Fork Road.Available Aug 2018 or, possibly, sooner.Click into the listing for contact information, pictures and details!Great Neighborhood!Real oak floors.Very private location.Feel like you are surrounded by forest (you are) with a great view over the top of an upscale subdivision.A healthy hike but easily doable to a BT bus stop, or a short bike ride door to door anywhere in Blacksburg.Lots of parking --- no parking permits needed! and an EZ drive to VT/Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Radford, even when there are football games.EZ to VT, Blacksburg, Christiansburg, & Radford.Stroubles Mill/Hethwood (which contains Foxridge) is across the street. Conveniently located next to population center and human amenities: 5 minutes from the supermarket (by bike or car), by bike 15-20 minutes door-to-door via bike trail to VT (use tunnel under 460 Bypass so avoid traffic hazards), 15 minutes (by car) from NRV Mall, a few blocks from BT bus stop; yet, tranquil Woods, stars, and wildlife are at your back door. Quiet, peaceful, lots of off-street parking, recent very thorough renovation with much concentration on safety, durability, and making places where residents would be happy and want to stay.All our units are very clean and bright--- plus pet allergen and smoke allergen free – since major renovations.There is very effective sound-proofing throughout the building and between the rooms within each unit.Many features that save much on utility costs We have lots of pictures and the floor plans posted on our website, but you need to contact us to get the website address as I am not permitted to put it here.- Versatile floor plan.- Real Oak floors! These hardwood floors are everywhere but the kitchen and bathroom where there is nice vinyl.- Large eat-in kitchen with lots of counter-space and many cabinets plus storage on top of them. Late model large side-by-side refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, excellent exhaust fan makes it easy to keep clean!, double bowl stainless steel sink, easy for entertaining as well as cooking, three windows plus door with screen/storm door for light and cross ventilation, views from windows are of a forest full of wildlife, ceiling fan, TV/Ethernet/telephone jacks, etc.- Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or your meal on the covered porch and relax.- 2 Bedrooms (or 1 BR and 1 Living Room) - one room easily large enough to be partitioned off and past residents have done so with a moveable screen. 2 sets of TV/Ethernet/telephone jacks in each room so minimal need for exposed cabling to trip over.- Two walk-in closets with flexible shelves and rods. Could be used for a small desk, play area, or nursery, they are so big! People have stored, along with their clothing, complete drum sets and twin mattresses in them.- Mini-blinds on all windows throughout the unit. Rarely needed except to shut out the sun as very difficult to see into this unit. Nice views!- 3 large ceiling fans – 5-blades, reversible, 4-bulbs, 52" wide- Hard-wired smoke detectors, firewalls, overlapping motion-sensor operated security lighting, outside disconnects, etc. and other major safety improvements were added during renovations.- Many building permits and inspections were done as we changed the plumbing, wiring and walls.- County water included - not a private well.- Optional use of clean, efficient laundry room. Keeps the heat, lint, moisture out of your unit and does not take up much square footage in your unit.- No smoking allowed even on the porches so that residents can enjoy the fresh air that comes in as they open their windows or sit on the porches.- Morning sun; summer shade; winter sunlight. Cheerful unit. - Below is more detailed information that has been added to answer questions people have asked: - Hardwired Ethernet/TV/Telephone to all rooms. Comcast broadband cable runs to a router; so you are not charged for each connection separately!Our 2.5 acre property has lots of parking for you, your neighbors and everyone's visitors! There is a house (maximum of 4 people) plus the 4-unit apartment building (maximum of 8 people - 2 people per apartment). Thus a maximum of 12 people can reside here, rarely are there over around 8 or 9. The apartment building has two units per floor on the upper two floors with a coin-less, very clean laundry room and landlord's storage on the bottom floor/walk-out basement.Store bicycles, canoes, and other outdoor equipment outside your unit under the deck. Much of the storage area is covered.1849 C has views from all rooms. Looking East and to the back are trees. One small house is next door (East). The streetside has lawns and a view over Stroubles Mill neighborhood's large homes on Tall Oaks Drive and the rest of the back of Hethwood (Foxridge is a brief walk away past the large homes). 1849 is located on a hillside; so it is tough for anyone to look in!All the walls in the building were opened during the recent renovation; so all plumbing and electrical is in very good to excellent (brand-new) condition. Renovations have been done with permits and government inspectors. We worked hard to make all our units as if we or our own children would be living in them.The sound-proofing is amazing, between units and within the unit as well. It is very rare to hear a neighbor. Rarely will you hear a car door slam. More likely you will be awakened by the wildlife in the acres of woods. Close the door to your bedroom and you will not hear most sounds --- even in the rest of your apartment ---as there is soundproofing insulation in virtually all the walls and ceilings. Particularly the room most people use as a bedroom is so quiet it is like being in a sound studio.Low Electric Bills - Due to the insulated interior walls, by closing doors you can heat just one room or keep rooms at different temperatures so everyone is comfortable. Each room has its own thermostatically controlled 220v heater with fan; so each room can heat up quickly and stay that way very efficiently as its own little zone, if you close the door. There are reversible ceiling fans in every room and zone heating; so the electric bills can be kept incredibly low with little effort. AC has not been used in this unit for years, as even those residents who install a window AC choose to keep them off to save money because the fans are so effective. We even provide a dual window fan. In fact, the last resident had a window AC which he kept on the floor because just opening the window was enough to keep him comfortable, since all summer the large oak trees provide lots of shade and the cool air comes in from the forest.Natural energy savings: In Winter, the leaves are gone and the sun's angle is so low that all winter it is bright in this unit keeping it very cheery inside.In Summer, the leaves shade the unit and the sun goes over the top of the building so C stays very cool with no need for AC! I have been told in summer people in some of our units wear sweaters inside because the contrast to outside is so great!There are many more pluses to the rental units offered at Forests Edge. You likely will find it worth taking a look. Each floorplan is different; so please check out our website as well.Please call or use "reply to this ad" button for an appointment by clicking into the listing for contact information, pictures and details.. We only own 9 rental units and manage them ourselves. You will not be a "number" to us. We try hard to make our residences nice enough that our residents renew, and most do. Our residents frequently renew because they like how well we maintain our units and how quickly we respond when they contact us. Most stay with us for all the years they are renting in Blacksburg!County water (not private well water - unusual in this sort of setting)Septic system limits number of people in the building to 8 (2 per apartment).Only a maximum of 12 people may reside on the 2.5 acres (4 in the house plus 2 in each of the units in the four-unit apt building) of woods and lawn. There is much more off-street parking than would be used if we had 12 residents and each one had a car. Usually the units are fully-leased, and, still, we only have around 9 or 10 residents with only around 7 cars total. So your friends would be able to find a space to park, if you lived at Forests Edge. No hangtags, parking stickers, or visitors' passes needed!The laundry room has a nice front-loading washer and dryer. No need for coins, and you can safely leave your detergent on the shelf. Leave the dryer lint, heat and machine noise outside your quiet apartment. There is a reasonable monthly charge (less than the cost to run the machines), if you would like to use the on-site laundry.This is a non-smoking building. Also, there is no smoking on the balconies or near the building where the smoke can enter through open windows. Since we own the building, we are able to offer smoke free air when you relax on the large balconies watching the deer and birds or enjoying the night sky. Our residents enjoy smelling flowers and the forests all day and night long.The building is located at the edge of Blacksburg (next to Hethwood) and behind it is nothing but hills and farms. It gets spectacularly dark when the motion-sensor security lights are not tripped on. The stars and the moon seem to be much closer here than in the rest of Blacksburg because they appear so bright! There is redundant motion-sensor activated security lighting; so if one or two bulbs burn out, there still is light, but less of it.The bike path to VT and the rest of Blacksburg is right across the street. Radford and Christiansburg (as well as Blacksburg) are very easy to access from this location. The hospital is just down the road.Please do check FORESTs-EDGE website for a map. The small apartment building is easy to find by taking Prices Fork Road and turning onto Merrimac Road. Enjoy the expansive view over the beautiful Wall Farm, rather than dealing with traffic, stop signs and lights as your friends do when they go home. From Prices Fork Road, it is only one and a third miles to the three story white building. You can pull right into the large, usually mostly empty parking area. No assigned spaces or parking tags needed - for you or your visitors! It is actually quicker to get here than to most places that seem "closer" to campus. (Try it!) Plus it is soooooo nice and peacefully quiet. It's pretty quick by bicycle (bike path) to most of VT (15-20 minutes door-to-door) and Blacksburg.Blacksburg Transit bus stop is a few blocks up Tall Oaks Drive.One of our goals is always to not have to keep any of any renter's deposit for damage or cleaning; so we are providing durable units designed to handle human occupancy and be able to clean easily. 95+% of our residents have nothing taken out for damage because our units are finished with durable materials and our residents tend to take care of the units.Our units are designed to be durable when lived in by humans who take reasonable care of the unit. We repair between tenants so that the units look as if they were renovated last year. The paint, woodwork, fixtures, and cabinets are pretty durable. The hardwood flooring is pretty tough requiring only routine vacuuming, mopping, and/or sweeping to remove grit to minimize scratching, gouging, and other deterioration.PLEASE ASK WHETHER WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE AVAILABLE.ALL OF OUR UNITS ARE VERY QUIET & HAVE LOTS OF PARKING!Please come by! See you soon, I hope.- Pet Policy Discussed below at great length:Thank you for your understanding as to why we can not make exceptions to allow your beloved pet, if it does not fit our guidelines.Many people move to our units for the peace, quiet, and beauty. During renovations we removed much pet damage, including replacing floor boards, doors, cabinets and window screens; so please do not ask if you can bring in dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, etc. People with allergies to pet dander seek out our properties since they are rare in Blacksburg. Offering pet and smoke allergen free units is a large part of our reputation. Also, our units are very quiet; are maintained as if they were recently renovated; and are very clean. It is impossible to charge a sufficient deposit to cover the costs of pet damage to units maintained as well as ours are.We love animals (one of us is a veterinarian and we both have been actively involved in wildlife rescue), but in our rental units they must be in cages or aquaria and not be heard outside the unit, even with the windows open. This way they do not disturb other residents or damage the apartment. It also makes it possible for our renovated units to be promoted as pet allergen-free. We keep a list of any caged critters who have lived in our units; so people allergic to furry critters or birds will know what has been allowed in the specific unit and how long ago.No outdoor pets as we actively encourage wildlife. Many of our residents like to have bird feeders and to play on the lawns and plant plants in the gardens which is not compatible with walking dogs or free-ranging introduced predators such as cats.All pets must be well-cared for. All pets must be reported to management. There is a reasonable pet fee for some species, and it is important for the pet's safety that management know of their existence to avoid injury due to chemicals, etc. used during repairs or other maintenance. When we know of a critter, we can protect it from toxic fumes. Knowing it is there makes it more likely to be rescued if there is an emergency, say a long term power outage in the winter, or a fire, or you end up sick or injured and can not get back to feed it.Again, thank you for your understanding as to why we can not make exceptions to allow your beloved pet -- if it does not fit our guidelines.0985001849 C just off Prices Fork Rd by HethwoodBlacksburgVA2406012010-06-21 18:05:582018-08-21 21:56:39apartment21.00985002019-08-01available00010.00000000000000000.0000000000000000none42849subscription2019-02-27 13:29:050/va/blacksburg/42849-quiet-apt-great-kitchen-hardwood-low-utility/images/18/04/180418_640x480.jpg/images/18/04/180422_640x480.jpg/images/18/04/180423_640x480.jpg/images/18/04/180426_640x480.jpg/images/18/04/180428_640x480.jpg/images/18/13/181398_640x480.jpg/images/27/60/276060_640x480.jpg/images/27/60/276061_640x480.jpg/images/11/79/1179520_640x480.jpg/images/14/95/1495669_640x480.jpg/images/14/95/1495676_640x480.jpg/images/14/95/1495677_640x480.jpg/images/18/04/180418_640x480.jpglands1973648377970Quiet - Great Eat In Kitchen-Woods, bike pathAddress: 1849 B Merrimac Road near Prices Fork Road.

This also helps us to keep our units looking as if they were recently renovated. There should be no residual pet odors to surprise you when you close the windows in the winter and turn on the heat. We do allow most quiet caged pets as long as they are well cared for. No uncaged pets and no outdoor pets. To keep our promise to the neighbors: No permitted pet in any of our units can be capable of making noise that could be heard outside the unit even with the windows open, except song birds which, of course, sound similar to birds outside in the trees and feeding at the neighbors' bird feeders. We maintain a list of the types of caged critters that have resided in our units so we can inform people with allergies of when the critters lived there. Over the years we have been offering rental property, residents in our various units have had fish, anuls, a canary and a hamster...This is a non-smoking building.

Clean! PeacefulThis wonderful, bright cheery home will be shiny clean to welcome you as you move in.

We will try to schedule tours whenever we can match schedules: Day, evening or weekends. Click into the listing for contact information, pictures and details!Our lengthy description should give you a good "feel" for this well-cared for home. The detailed description is definitely appreciated by people at a distance who may have to make a decision without getting to spend much time in the home or even being able to come to Blacksburg to do a tour at all. We tried hard to answer most questions that people ask; so please try to read through the description.We tried to include line breaks for ease of reading, but the website keeps removing them.This home is very nice, very comfortable, homey, clean and bright. No residual pet smells will bother occupants when heat turned on in winter, since pet allergen free since major renovations.It is unique, unlike so many places that look just like every other place. Here you will immediately realize that the nooks, crannies, closet, and history make this house special and make it a home, not "just a rental." When gutted recently for total renovation, we insisted the charm and personality be maintained so it feels like a home, not a bunch of square boxy rooms.There is much included to save you time and money; so please remember to factor these in as you do your price comparisons. We do the mowing, leaf removal and snow plowing of the driveway. It is on County water, but there is no water or sewer bill. The ground floor, especially, stays cool in the summer without the need for AC! The large trees provide plenty of shade.Insulation in walls between rooms and floors helps to zone the heat and coolness as well as helps keep the house quiet between rooms and floors.Very efficient use is made of space! If there is a nook, there is a shelf or closet.Most shelving is adjustable.There are lots of flexible closets.No wasted square footage in hallways.The house is a lot "bigger" than it appears from outside.Within the walls is everything from CAT-5 Ethernet/TV/phone cabling to all rooms, to all new wiring, all new plumbing, all new heating ducts, and lots of insulation and soundproofing (even between rooms and floors)!Much soundproofing:It is tough to hear a TV or computer from one room to another. Parents please note that the soundproofing muffles the sounds of a toddler's temper tantrum as well as a teenager's music. Wired in smoke detectors. Plus a carbon-monoxide alarm. Much outdoor lighting on motion sensors; so it is possible to enjoy the beauty of the stars when no one is walking around outside. Neighbors are quiet (Sometimes, however, the wild birds in the woods do get pretty rowdy). You can plant stuff in the gardens, but be prepared for the deer to eat it. There is a fenced garden plot, if you want to try your luck.The house shares a driveway with a 4 unit building where we have very quiet residents who generally reside there for years. The residents of the home (1855) and the small apartment building (1849 Merrimac Rd) all sign rental documents agreeing to the same things which has ensured that the house and apartments are occupied by like-minded people who are respectful of each other. Most of our residents serious students or professionals who prefer a very quiet neighborhood with only rare visitors so they can just sit outside or leave their windows wide open and soak in the sounds of Nature.If you are looking to live in a convenient, quiet, peaceful neighborhood, surrounded by Nature, then you will likely enjoy living here.If you are looking for a place to party, please do not consider renting this home. We try to rent only to people with a good record of having taken good care of previous residences and who are respectful of the neighbors.Beautiful location: Located on 2.5 acres, shared only with a maximum of 8 other residents in a similarly maintained and quiet 4-unit apartment building next door. This year there are only 5 people next door.You'll be living across the street from the end of Tall Oaks Drive/Stroubles Mill, Hethwood in Blacksburg. There reside Thousands of people whom you can meet around town, on campus, when on walks, running or biking, at the nearby supermarket, but, you, will be one of the lucky ones who has a private quiet home to which to return.Bike/walking path to Kipps Elementary, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg High School, grocery store, VT, Corporate Research Center, and VCOM. Hospital is just 5-8 minutes down the road. 11 minute drive to CRC/VCOM. 16 minutes to the shopping mall (WalMart, other big box chain stores and restaurants and numerous smaller shops). Grocery store is 5 minutes by car or bicycle.All this plus beautiful rural Virginia Countryside just outside your back door! Square Miles of woods and fields behind.Mountain sunsets daily! People renew year after year at Forests Edge because the properties are well-maintained, very quiet and there is ample parking.Pictures and maps on our website: Please contact us for the website, since we are not allowed to list it here. (Hint: The house is located at what we call Forests Edge which can be Googled.) It is faster to get home here than in much of Blacksburg because there's little traffic and no stop signs! EZ to: Blacksburg, Radford, Christiansburg, The Malls. Corporate Research Center, Hospital, VCOM, etc. Avoid most VT traffic to I-81 and Mall.Walking/running/bike path across street (Hethwood)...goes right to VT campus. (If you bike quickly only 15-20 minutes door to your door on campus.)Great off-street parking! Good to know that Snow plowing of parking area is included in rent, even though this is a house!Para-transit will come to the door.3-4 blocks to BT bus. Original real oak floors, real wood paneling, all original solid wood interior doors, nooks and crannies, etc. have been kept.Plaster walls are beautiful. The upstairs full-bath was added during renovation. Downstairs bath was modified to be universally accessible without looking like it is.Incredible storage and wall heaters in both bathrooms! Large Ceiling fans (with lights) are in every room. Double-paned, low-E windows have full screens, not just 1/2 screens; so it's possible to ventilate rooms well even when raining. 3 bedrooms have flexible closets. 4th BR has no closet; yet pocket door makes it a convenient extension of other bedroom on main level. There is plenty of storage in the hall + bath next door to 4th bedroom. 4th bedroom makes a terrific office, playroom, hobby room, or den, especially since it has an additional heater to zone heat that room.The 2 large bedrooms upstairs have great views through over-sized windows. One faces East, the other West. Great views of the sunrise and sunset over the mountains. Stars at night are magnificent when the motion sensor lights are off. 2" Faux wood blinds are on every window. The blinds really block the light, if you choose to hide from the great view of the morning sunrise. The comfortably-sized EAT-IN KITCHEN even has a closet under the steps with a light so you can sort through your over-sized pots, bowls, wedding gifts, etc. (or a child could play in this "secret" hide-away). Recent Stove with convection oven with hidden bottom element for ease of cleaning between running the self-cleaning feature, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, ample cabinets and counterspace, windows on two walls facing woods and fields, plus exhaust fan in kitchen.Lots of built-in and/or flexible shelving/storage throughout the house.County Water & septic included. Well for watering gardens.INCLUDED: Mowing and leaf removal is done for you so you can lounge outside and enjoy the peace and quiet rather than pushing the mower. Snow plowing of the driveway is done for you, too; so sled on the hill after shoveling the snow off the level back path. The back path will be ice free if you turn on the heater embedded in the aggregate stone path.INCLUDED: Use of very convenient (really!) laundry (no coins!) Most people do not think about how much it costs to heat water for laundry and to run a dryer. Likely you will save around $100 per month in laundry costs. Also, the heat and humidity from the dryer as well as the dryer lint will not be in your home! Really nice large-capacity Bosch front-loader washer and a Whirlpool dryer in the very, clean convenient laundry area. The front loader is so efficient, the dryer and washer finish in about the same time. Shelves provided to store your detergent. The laundry center does not use precious square footage in the home. There is even a clothesline outside, and one inside the downstairs bathroom.This home will be extremely clean on move-in; so please trust the pictures. The home is painted with Benjamin Moore, Glidden, and Zinsser paints. Most of the flooring is original oak flooring with very good quality vinyl flooring in the kitchen, hallways and bathrooms. This use of quality materials makes it easy to keep the home clean.PET POLICY:Pet allergen free since renovation. No uncaged pets permitted. We are strict about this because we like being able to offer pet allergen free housing to those who need this. You likely will appreciate not having residual smell of other people's cats or dogs. Well cared for Exotic pets in cages are generally OK with landlord because we can contain the allergens. No outdoor pets - this helps to keep the area quiet and encourages wildlife. Please, no critter capable of being heard outside even with the windows open, so that neighbors are not disturbed. NO SMOKING:No smoking permitted inside since renovation! No smoking please, we renovated this home to make it bright, removing lots of smoke haze from walls and ceilings. New ductwork should have no smoke allergen residue. Someday we may add a porch, but at this time there is no place outside where smokers can stand to smoke outside when it is raining or snowing.Maximum 4 people since it has a septic system sized for four people. Children (especially infants, toddlers and teenagers) use at least as much water as adults. Septic systems are sized based upon the amount of water usage they can handle. Occasional overnight guests are fine, but the septic system is not designed for the added burden of full time live-in guests or lots of partying!The ground floor is all but ADA compliant/universally accessible. Recently an 89 year old resident moved comfortably around the first floor all the way out to the car with a walker or a cane. No trip hazards. Year's earlier a young graduate who broke his leg skiing was grateful there were no thresholds on the main level where his bedroom was; the downstairs bathroom was easy with crutches, a walker and wheelchair; and the heater in the level back path kept it ice free so he could benefit from the traction provided by the pretty aggregate concrete path.BT Paratransit will pick up at the door, if you can not walk the several blocks to the bus stop.The home was renovated to make it pretty comfortable all summer long, without the huge cost of running AC. The fans and insulation, when used as designed, really do a great job of keeping the cost of keeping the home comfortable all year round. With a little effort (In summer opening windows at night and closing as the sun heats the world in the morning) you can save much money all summer long. The landlord will provide a room AC unit which vents to the outside, if you decide you need it. This system does not block the view as a window AC would. So far, no one has used AC in this home despite the offer of this AC unit. This is because when sitting still downstairs on hot summer days, residents often find themselves putting on sweaters the house is so cool despite the 90+ degree temperatures outside!New ducting and oil furnace installed during renovations. Wall heaters in both full baths and the fourth bedroom (office/playroom/den/hobby area) are there so you can turn down the heat elsewhere and still keep these rooms very warm. Insulation between floors and rooms muffles sound as well as contributes to the energy-saving features of this home.We only have this one house, but we have 8 other similarly located (in quiet areas with lots of parking and nice views), and similarly well maintained, and upgraded condos and apartments. Please ask! Please tell other people. Thank you.In recent years our residents have all renewed unless they were moving out of town, purchasing a home, or significantly changing their roommate situations.Thank you for considering renting one of our properties. Please contact us for the website showing the properties we have, some of which may be available soon. It should be easy to figure out by googling our name: Forests Edge.There are around 30 pictures on our website! They were taken during (now completed) renovations, but should give you an idea.
