There are acres and acres of sheep meadow as a backyard with a backdrop of mountains; yet it is closer to VT's campus than 1,000's of other rental units, AND this residence is very quiet with lots of parking. -- No need for hangtags or reserved spaces! - Park your car and use Blacksburg's buses or ride your bicycle. Click into the listing for contact information, pictures and details! Brightwood Manor attracts serious students, families, professionals and retirees; so the neighborhood does not tolerate frequent loud parties or music. VERY QUIET Location. Occasionally the sheep might wake you, perhaps once a year. Most people move to Brightwood Manor to live quietly. Nice, relaxing views out windows and off patio. Patio stays dry in most downpours; so great for relaxing and barbecuing (masonry construction so OK to barbecue)Our four units at Brightwood Manor are usually snapped up quickly as soon as they are shown. Most only come available once every 3 to 5 years as people renew the leases here year after year. One time 902 #2 passed from friends to friends for 9 years! At Brightwood Manor our units (because we maintain them so well and try hard to treat our residents well) have had leases renewed for as long, so far, as 11 and 14 years!AVAILABILITY: Currently this 3 BR unit is available May 07, 2017 Please ask! Our units (all in quiet areas and maintained by landlords who really care) 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.Few people move on the date listed on their lease. So, we start listing a unit as available shortly after our residents tell us they will have it clean and ready for the next occupant. Residents move at all times of the year to follow employment, because they closed on a purchase of a home, because they graduated in December, or for many other reasons; so we try to assist them in saving money on rent on a unit they no longer need by writing a new lease, if a new resident is found. So please check the availability date because we try hard to keep them updated.DESCRIPTION: Thoughtfully redone, spacious, smoke-free, pet-allergen & pet-odor free, 3 bedroom condominium with two full bathrooms. Bedrooms are well-spaced for privacy with 2 BR and 1 BA at one side and the Master BR and Bath at the other. Like a sprawling ranch house without the yard work!VERY CONVENIENT to everything! Lots of parking so NO need for hangtags or parking stickers. BT Bus stop at the foot of the driveway. Bike route goes under highway directly to VT campus. From Downtown Blacksburg take Prices Fork Road; driveway is the 2nd left after cross 460 Bypass. Well-Maintained and EZ to keep clean: Ceramic floors everywhere, except bedrooms which are carpeted. The kitchen now has the same ceramic flooring as the living room, halls and bathrooms. We urge residents to tell us when something needs attention because we want to maintain things so they do not break. Paint on walls is very durable and very easy to keep clean.SPACIOUS: 1260+ square feet of well-planned space. NO space wasted on stairwells. All hallways serve dual purpose of being access to the large rooms and for access to the numerous closets. Over NINE foot high ceilings so you can use the space on top of regular height bookcases for more items. Plenty of space for over-sized items above very durable kitchen cabinets. Large pantry area. Washer and dryer are in lit closets with yet more shelving! PLUS: Patio walks out onto lawn effectively enlarging your living space. PLUS: Common area Foyer for the building provides even more space.BRIGHT: Lots of natural lighting during the day during the winter and tree shading patio during summer. Many built-in light fixtures for lots of light, even in closets.ENERGY-SAVING FEATURES: Has HP but rarely do tenants ever turn on AC. Naturally cool in summer. On really muggy days, AC on for an hour or so a day will remove that humidity. Ground floor unit; so the Earth keeps it warm in winter. As equipment needs replacing we strongly consider energy-efficiency as a factor. For example, the newest appliance, the refrigerator, is energy star rated. It has been used for less than a year.FOUR 52 inch reversible ceiling fans with lights. These gently circulate the heat down from the ceilings in the winter and blow cool air around in the summer. All windows and Patio door are double pane. Patio door swings and has a deadbolt so seals much better than a typical sliding patio door. Owner has lived in the unit so can share additional tips for conserving.UTILITIES: Water/sewer/trash pick-up included. CAT-5 computer, TV and telephone cabling to virtually all rooms. Comcast and Verizon DSL are available.TWO FULL BATHS: one has two sinks with door providing privacy for tub and toilet. The other bathroom has a UNIQUE rotating curved shower curtain rod that rotates out of the way when not using the shower and provides more "elbow room" when showering. Grab bars along both bathtub/shower surrounds. Tiled walls and backsplashes. Large vanities under sinks. Medicine cabinets. MANY towel rods, robe hooks, towel hooks. Large mirrors!APPLIANCES: Refrigerator (New Energy Star-used only a few months), electric range, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave (provided if you do not have one), full-sized washer & dryer (with energy-saving booster fan), recently installed full-sized water heater. If you apply the provided water heater blanket, it will be even more energy efficient.STORAGE EVERYWHERE!: Great closets in bedrooms and common areas. Large pantry. Space over kitchen cabinets and in many closets goes up to the 9 foot ceilings. Kitchen cabinets are solid and can hold a lot of items!MINIMAL ALLERGENS:No smoking.No pets running loose.Since renovations we have not allowed smoking nor any uncaged pets (including "outdoor" pets); so you do not have to worry about cat or dog dander, hair, or odors from "accidents". Unlike many units at Brightwood Manor, your clothes dryer will vent to the outside of the building through a well-designed ventilation system, complete with booster fan. Also, there are exhaust fans in both bathrooms and over the kitchen stove. Ceramic floors help as well.SECURITY DEPOSIT on our units is one month's regular rent for the unit. If you have a caged pet or aquarium, there might be a pet deposit.PET POLICY: Our pet policy is only caged pets and no "outdoor" pets. This assists us in maintaining our units so they look as if they were very recently renovated.This is a very quiet location. We want to keep it that way; so no pets permitted that are even capable of being heard outside the unit, even with the windows open, except songbirds whose voices would blend with the birds outside.CHECK OUR WEBSITE, please: Many photos, maps, plus floorplans of our units on our website. We even have aerial photos! Please click into the listing for contact information, pictures and details. Call or use " reply to this ad" button for that website address (Hint: Google our company name Forests Edge).Thank you very much for considering renting one of our 9 units. Since we are not a big company just, literally, a "Mom and Pop," for the last 25 years we have tried very hard to personalize our service to all our residents. Apparently, we must do OK because our residents tend to renew year after year until they move out of town, buy a home, or need a type of place we can not offer. We try hard to answer, promptly, residents' calls/emails for assistance - day, night, weekends and even on holidays. Ask our residents. We have responded to calls on New Year's Eve and also generally are onsite within minutes if there is a true emergency.We look forward to hearing from you and answering your questions about what we have available that might suit your needs.134000902 2 Brightwood Manor DriveBlacksburgVA2406012010-06-21 18:05:432018-02-02 21:01:16condominium32.012601340002018-08-01available000137.2251410000000000-80.4455950000000000street44506subscription2019-02-27 13:29:050/va/blacksburg/44506-quiet-huge-3br2ba-condo-cheery-bright-busrout/images/12/78/1278819_640x480.jpg/images/12/78/1278816_640x480.jpg/images/18/35/183592_640x480.jpg/images/18/35/183593_640x480.jpg/images/18/35/183596_640x480.jpg/images/18/35/183598_640x480.jpg/images/12/49/1249218_640x480.jpg/images/12/78/1278821_640x480.jpg/images/12/78/1278822_640x480.jpg/images/12/78/1278824_640x480.jpg/images/12/78/1278825_640x480.jpg/images/14/89/1489158_640x480.jpg/images/12/78/1278819_640x480.jpgport37035648377970QuietBrightwoodManor2BR1BA-NICE!+GreatParkingIt is extremely rare for such a unit to be available for long! Click into the listing for contact information, pictures and details!Step into 900 #3 Brightwood Manor any time of day or night and it will greet you with its bright cheeriness! The attention by these owner/ managers to detail during the recent renovations and with routine maintenance is very apparent. This unit is easy to keep looking really nice. Most of our residents honor us by renewing year after year..We try hard to provide a good value for our residents' money. You can choose what utilities to pay for and economize. I just called places with much higher rents, which they justify by having many amenities and utilities "included." Check carefully! Will you use those amenities and do they have a cap on for example, on the "included" electricity usage. Some charge you extra in the winter months and do not refund you when you do not use as much in the summer, when you are away and your refrigerator and water heater are turned off or reward you for opening windows and cooling off using fans.This unit is in a small condominium complex with a neighborhood feel. Ages range from newborns to octogenarians. Serious students, professionals, and families all like this quiet building because it has a reputation of not hearing neighbors easily and of attracting residents who do not have lots of parties...All of our units have great parking for residents and guests...The BT Bus stops at the end of the driveway; yet in this unit, no window has a view of asphalt and the patio gate opens out onto a wide lawn. If the weather is dry when you are moving, getting in and out of the patio door is the way to haul stuff!We strive hard to keep our promises to our residents to provide clean, well-maintained, quiet residences. They should be pet allergen and smoke free. If you have pets, please read through to the discussion at end of this lengthy description. We love critters; yet we have a strict pet policy regarding noise and that the pets need to be confined to the indoors and inside cages or aquaria...No smoking please!..Nice ceramic tile flooring was installed in the kitchen, living room, dining area, hallway, foyer, closets, laundry area, and bathroom. (Hopefully you can see the grout lines and the actual pattern in the tile in the photos.) The bedrooms' carpeting is professionally cleaned and stain-protected...There is a great, very well-lit, galley kitchen with lots of counter space and an amazing amount of very sturdy wood cabinets. There is nothing flimsy here! Since the ceilings are 9 feet high the open soffit area above the cabinets provides even more kitchen storage. Refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, exhaust fan, newish stove and garbage disposal. EZ to take out, rinse off and reuse vinyl shelf lining will make it easy for you to maintain...Bathroom has bright new ceramic tile from tub to ceiling and around the vanity. The vanity has two sinks. The full-sized porcelain bathtub with shower and toilet are separated from the sinks with a door for privacy. There is a double curved rod for extra space when showering and lots of decorating possibilities. And the wonderful floating shelf over the sinks just makes this room sparkle even more. Also, included are robe hooks at least three towel rods plus towel rings. Lots of mirrors in this unit, including full length ones in each bedroom...Nice very recent full-sized FRONT loading washer and dryer. Very efficient dryer ducting system to keep your laundry costs way down! The washer spins fast and uses little water (less to heat!) and the dryer has a powerful blower, but you will barely need the dryer as the washer will all but spin dry your clothes!..Many other brand new items were installed throughout unit. Nice built in oak corner shelving unit was custom-made for the unit...All new faucets in the bathroom, kitchen and bath/shower. New universal/ADA height, elongated toilet. Substantial grab bar in the bathtub. Door way to the sink area was just enlarged. Doors have new Schlage lever style handles and locks...Unit is a ground floor unit which requires steps to access via the front door, but access through the back is right onto the lawn. Railing on patio can keep children on patio and then, when gate open, allows level access from the lawn directly into the unit and makes it easy for children to get to the lawn to play. Easy to walk directly to nearby playground...Trash pick-up is provided, with the dumpsters, conveniently, right next to the 900 building but out of sight of this unit. Sewage and water are also included...There is CAT-5 computer cabling and TV hook-ups in both bedrooms and the living room. You have a choice of Internet providers. Verizon DSL and Comcast both are available...Central heating and AC system is only a couple of years old. Double pane, insulated windows. All the double hung windows are vinyl replacement windows that are very easy to clean since they tilt in. The paint is a very good grade of Zinnser paint that is durable and resists staining with reasonable care and of course the ceramic flooring should be very easy to maintain. The Scotch guard stain protectant on the bedroom carpeting should also help minimize cleaning difficulties. We put much thought and money into making it possible for reasonably responsible and careful residents to get their entire security deposit back...Also, 52" 5-bladed reversible (for summer cooling and winter heat circulating) ceiling fans with lights in both bedrooms and the living room. Track lighting provides many lighting options; so there are plenty of lighting options everywhere! Mirrored closet doors make the spacious living room/dining room seem to go on and on. There is great place to hang a heavy plant in front of the South facing living room window. This unit has great lighting, even all winter as the winter sun comes streaming through the patio door in the afternoon. The patio ceiling however, cuts the western sun all summer so breezes can come through the patio door decreasing the need for costly AC. ..Amazing amount of storage! Closets are everywhere! Many soar to nine feet high. Large pantry area. Large linen closet. There is adjustable shelving in the laundry area along with a bar to hang shirts fresh out of the dryer. The washer/dryer can be hidden behind doors even with the door to the washer left open to keep from getting musty...Very quiet complex. Family-oriented. Children's playground nearby. Bike trails to the super market and Virginia Tech. The VT sheep meadows are adjacent to Brightwood Manor..Kipps Elementary School and Blacksburg Middle and High Schools.Large Family doctors' office with evening and weekend emergency hours right next door...Blacksburg Transit bus stops at the end of the driveway...Plenty of parking for residents and their guests. No need for hang tags, parking stickers or assigned parking spots. There are ample...Very rural feel almost in the middle of Blacksburg...Views from unit are of expansive lawns, a children's playground and Oak Manor Townhouses. Sheep meadows and woods are next to Brightwood Manor making it fun and convenient to watch the sheep and the llama. When you relax on your patio it is very likely you will hear the sheep "Baaa". A family walk could take you to the sheep barns to watch the lambs. Woods separate Brightwood Manor from nearby office parks...This is a terrific unit for serious students as well as families, individuals and couples. Brightwood Manor is a small (only 36 units) complex that is well-known as a place where one does not have wild parties. Expect it to be very unusual to hear much noise, except a couple of weekends in August (before new, noisy residents realize that noise is not tolerated) and then at graduation in May...Unlike apartments, Condominiums are individually owned and the particular owners and their managers make the decisions about how well they will be maintained. So you will find a lot of variation from one condo to another in the same building and complex. At Brightwood Manor there are people who own the units in which they live, and there are many people who rent units. Who owns and manages each rented condo varies greatly. We own four condos at Brightwood Manor, and we take great pride in how well we maintain each one and that we know all of our residents. In many cases we have memorized their email addresses because we keep in touch to make sure that things are working correctly and to keep them abreast of things that affect them. Since our residents renew so often and we only own a total of nine rental properties, it is possible for us to offer such personal attention to the details that affect each of them...Our numerous renewing residents obviously believe our units are a good value for their rental dollars. When you reside in one of our units, you would be residing in a unit where the owner/manager pays attention to details and the concerns of the residents and tries to install features that will keep residents' utility bills lower. We really do respond promptly to requests for repairs. We periodically send out e-mails asking if anything needs attention, and then follow-up quickly, if any work is needed.When a new resident moves into 900 #3, or any of our units, the unit is immaculately clean. Most of our residents renew year after year until they no longer need a rental unit in Blacksburg because we try hard to keep the units as nice as the day people move in...We work with our residents as they move in and move out in the hopes of making no one have to pay for an empty unit or miss out on a good unit just because they have to move sooner than the date listed in an advertisement. Since real life rarely matches up with the dates on a lease, most of our residents prefer to move at different times. We post our residents' units as available shortly after residents think they will have them empty and cleaned...Please give us a call or use " reply to this ad" button for e-mail contact to arrange a tour by clicking into the listing for contact information. Thanks!..No Smoking & no uncaged pets: As with all our units, this unit is maintained pet and smoke allergen free since renovation. 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...Good luck finding a home that is perfect for you! Hopefully one of ours will be it.0110000900 #3 Brightwood Manor DriveBlacksburgVA2406012011-08-17 21:32:402018-02-02 20:59:08condominium21.09751100002018-08-01available000137.2231000000000000-80.4450000000000000street393263subscription2019-02-27 13:29:050/va/blacksburg/393263-quietbrightwoodmanor2br1ba-nice-greatparking/images/19/67/19674615_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674617_640x480.jpg/images/28/95/2895839_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674612_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674614_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674621_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674616_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674622_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674618_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674619_640x480.jpg/images/28/95/2895848_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674620_640x480.jpg/images/19/67/19674615_640x480.jpgport12089948377970Quiet Home 3-4BR/2BA Nice!

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. 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.

Most residents renew with us, if they are continuing to rent in Blacksburg. We try to treat everyone as individuals. We hope that people who rent our units will take care of our residences, pay the rent on time, and be respectful of the neighbors. In return we try hard to maintain our units and provide a quiet neighborhood with lots of parking and nice views.Please no smoking. There are no random pet odors to surprise you when the unit is closed up for the winter and the heat comes on. No uncaged pets or pet capable of being heard outside the unit even with the windows open is permitted in any of our units. Especially, since many residents feed birds, we do not permit outdoor cats. We try hard to provide quiet for the neighborhood; so only songbirds. Also, we keep a pet history on all our units since renovations so we can advise people with allergies as to what has lived in the unit recently. Well cared for unusual caged exotics are likely to be allowed.After living with us for a couple of years, the current resident has found a job out of the area. Therefore, she no longer needs a place in Blacksburg. We try hard to help residents who need to move find someone to assume the lease so that the vacating residents do not have to pay rent on a vacant apartment. Also, few people move on the date on which their lease ends due the need to be residing out of the area before their lease ends for any number of reasons. We do not allow sublets, but, rather write new leases for the incoming residents and make changes on the original leases if it is merely a change in roommates.We hope you will contact us and come tour the units we have available.
