Immaculately redone, spacious, smoke-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. 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. 902 #2 Brightwood Manor Drive available approximately Aug 1, 2014.If tenants decide to vacate earlier in the summer, it might be available sooner. 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. 52 inch reversible ceiling fans with lights in all rooms. 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. VERY QUIET Location. Occasionally the sheep might wake you, perhaps once a year. Otherwise, most people move to Brightwood Manor to live quietly. Nice, relaxing views out windows and off patio. UTILITIES: Water/sewer/trash pick-up included. CAT-5 computer, TV and telephone cabling to virtually all rooms. Comcast and Verizon DSL are available. MORE INFO: Two full baths; one has two sinks with door providing privacy for tub and toilet. Refrigerator, range, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave (provided if you do not have one), full-sized washer & dryer (with energy-saving booster fan). Great closets. MINIMAL ALLERGENS: Since renovations we have not allowed smoking nor any uncaged pets; so you do not have to worry about cat or dog dander. 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. CHECK OUR WEBSITE, please: Many photos, maps, plus floorplans of our units on our website. We even have aerial photos! Please call for that website address (Hint: Google our company name Forests Edge) as we are not permitted to post it here. 540-961-0138.... 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 20 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 for assistance - day, night, weekends and even on holidays.

Major Renovation in progress. Plan to finish by mid-late November. Just purchased brand new full-sized FRONT loading washer and dryer and this week installing an 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! The permit was obtained and the building inspector is scheduled to come this week to look at the work in progress. Soon there will be new ceramic tile flooring 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 have professionally cleaned and stain-protected wall-to-wall carpeting. Great galley kitchen with lots of counter space and an amazing amount of very sturdy wood cabinets. 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. Bathroom will soon have 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. Waiting to be installed is a double curved rod for extra space when showering and lots of decorating possibilities. Many other brand new items being installed throughout unit. Nice corner shelving unit just custom-made for the unit. All new faucets in bathroom, kitchen and bath/shower. New universal/ADA height, elongated, 1.6 gallon toilet. Grab bar in the bathtub. Door way to the sink area was just enlarged. Unit is a ground floor unit which currently requires steps to access via the front door. Railing on patio can keep children on patio and then, when gate open, allows level access 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 provided. There is CAT-5 computer cabling and TV hook-ups in both bedrooms and the living room. You have a choice of Internet providers and Verizon DSL and Comcast both are available. Central heating and AC 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 as they tilt in. Speaking of cleaning, the paint is a very good grade of Zinser paint that is easy to clean 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. Obviously the new ceramic tile in the bathroom will be mildew free when you move in! Also, 52" 5-bladed reversible (for summer cooling and winter heat circulating) ceiling fans with lights in both bedrooms and the living rooms. Track lighting will provide many lighting options; so there should be plenty of lighting everywhere! The ceiling is being reinforced so it will be easy to hang a heavy plant even in front of the South facing window. This unit should have great lighting, even all winter. 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! Large pantry area. Shelving to be installed in the laundry area along with a bar to hang shirts fresh out of the dryer. The washer/dryer will be able to be hidden behind doors and the door to the washer will be able to be 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. Blacksburg Transit bus stops at the end of the driveway. Family doctors' office with evening and weekend emergency hours right next door. Kipps Elementary School and Blacksburg Middle and High Schools. Views from unit are of expansive lawns, the 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. A family walk could take you to the sheep barns to watch the lambs. 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 since the police are called by multiple residents; so partiers must go elsewhere to party. Expect it to be very unusual to hear much noise, except a couple of weekends in August (before new residents realize that noise is not tolerated) and then at graduation in May. You may see that this unit is priced higher than some of the other units, even seemingly identical ones in Brightwood Manor. However, if 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. In fact, one of our Brightwood Manor residents moved to another unit in the complex because the price was lower for a unit with a similar floorplan. In December she called me to ask if I had anything available because the standard of maintenance of that unit was intolerably lower and not worth the "savings" she was seeking. When the new resident moves into 900 #3, the unit will be 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 they day people move in. If we give you a tour now, you will see a work in progress; so you need to use your imagination. But if you come now, you might be able to have some input in the way the unit will be finished off. Please give us a call or e-mail. 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. We do allow most quiet caged pets as long as they are well cared for. No uncaged pets and no outdoor pets. No permitted pet may be capable of making noise that could be heard outside the unit 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 critters that have resided in our units so we can inform people with allergies of when the critters lived there.

Currently Leased through July, 2013 Wonderful 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. -- Excellent options to reduce costs of heating and cooling. Heat Pump (AC & heat exchanger), FIVE ceiling fans, wall heaters, storm windows and enclosed entry foyer with 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 enjoy living at the edges of square miles of woods and fields just across the street from the large homes in the Stroubles Mill portion of Hethwood subdivision, the largest subdivision in Blacksburg. 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. MORE FEATURES: Large Ceiling fans in all rooms. CAT5, telephone, and TV Cable jacks in 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. Yes, there is a dishwasher! Yes, there is undercabinet lighting and there are lights in the closets. Yes, there is a microwave. Yes, there is a doorbell, deadbolts and security lighting. (However, if you forget to lock your door, it is highly unlikely you need to worry.) No, you won’t need to bring a large mirror, since there are mirrors built-in. Carpeting cleaned between residents PLUS Carpeting always Scotch-guarded/stain protected when cleaned to make it easy for you to keep it clean. Few places bother to add carpet protectant. We insist on it! 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. No cost for sewer: But Maximum of two people because of the building code, since this unit is served by a septic system. 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 do not permit any critters capable of being heard outside the unit, even with the windows open. We gutted much of the buildings repairing things with quality materials in a way so, with responsible humans occupying them, they should continue to appear recently renovated with no scratch or teeth marks. Obviously, no cats, dogs, ferrets, chinchillas, etc. 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 a maximum of 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. 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 periodically, suddenly coming available. 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 couple of years 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 more pictures and floorplans. We are not allowed to list our website here; so please contact us by phone or e-mail us office@FORESTs-EDGE.com please contact us to get the website address.

Address: 1849 C Merrimac Road near Prices Fork Road. Available Aug 2013 Great Neighborhood! 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 call (540.961.0138) or e-mail (office@FORESTs-EDGE.com) us to get the website address as I am not permitted to put it here. Hint: our website is similar to our email address. • 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 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. • 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. Store bicycles, canoes, and other outdoor equipment outside your unit. 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 (540-961-0138) or e-mail office@FORESTs-EDGE.com for an appointment. 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). 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 full-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 hangtag, 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 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. 540-961-0138 or office@FORESTs-EDGE.com • 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. Our pet policy: No uncaged pets. No pets capable of making noise that can be heard outside the unit even with the windows open (Quiet for everyone!) 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.
