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.

Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers
The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.
Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.
The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.
