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.

Financing Your Home >Watch Your ARMs Length Most buyers know that first-year interest on Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) is typically lower than the interest on available fixed-rate mortgages. This makes ARMs easier to qualify for, but also requires that borrowers have some understanding about how such loans work, because there are significant details associated with the low first-year rate.
First, check to see how long the low rates offered on the ARM are guaranteed. After that period of time, the rates can go up two points a year to a typical rate cap of six points over the life of the loan. Lenders will usually require borrowers to qualify for a mortgage loan that is several percentage points above the actual initial rate charged on the ARM. This is intended to keep borrowers from becoming overburdened by debt. Some lenders may charge special fees or caps which can increase the cost of the loan. If you think that an ARM may work for you, it is a good idea to shop around.
