In the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains'
majestic peaks, families are joining together in The Villages of Maple Ridge-a
community celebrating nature and a slower, richer pace of life.
Ridges, ravines, trees and open green space
offer natural separations between the five distinct neighborhoods of The
Villages of Maple Ridge, a 177-acre planned community. Tree-lined streets and
pathways wind through the neighborhoods of large-acre estate lots, custom
homes, quality single-family homes, and leased, luxury townhomes. Common areas
take full advantage of the setting's abundant natural beauty while inviting a
sense of community.  
The Villages of Maple Ridge is located one
mile from downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. The state's largest town, Blacksburg
offers a culturally diverse population and high-tech influence, thanks to the
presence of Virginia Tech-Virginia Polytechnic and State University.
Nestled in the foothills of the
Washington-Jefferson National Forest and in the New River Valley, to town has
earned its reputation as a prim location for outdoor enthusiasts and nature
lovers. It was recently named a top-ten place to live in the U.S by both Men's
Journal and Outside Magazine, which noted that its "… setting in the New
River Valley is as unpretentious as its inhabitants: an uncrowded ground zero
for backpackers, boaters, climbers and cyclists…" 
The Villages of Maple Ridge takes full advantage of its natural location. Abundant opportunities for walking, jogging, biking, and hiking nearby include the Huckleberry Trail, linking Downtown Blacksburg to the New River Valley Mall and the Appalachian Trail. And the community offers easy access to the Virginia Tech Campus and shopping, dining, and schools.

Investment Real Estate >Selling Rental Properties
Marketing a rental property presents some special challenges. Owners will probably want to offer the house for sale while tenants are still living there so that the property continues to bring in income. However, most real estate agents prefer that their listings either be occupied by the owner or empty. Tenant-occupied homes are often the most difficult to sell since the tenants may not share the same pride of ownership. They may not be eager for the property to sell, and as a result, the house is not shown to its best advantage.
When you put a tenant-occupied house on the market, it is important that you enlist the tenants in the effort to get your house sold. Talk to the tenants first to see if they have a desire and ability to buy the house. If they are not interested in buying, work out with them the ground rules for access to the house. In most cases, the new owners will want the tenants to move, and it will be important to work out alternate living arrangements with them. In each situation, work hard to create a spirit of cooperation with the tenants.
