The Reserve at Stoneport (high end rentals in Rockingham County) |
|
 view a larger image  view a larger image These upscale apartments at The Reserve at Stoneport were built over the past year or two and many seem to be renting quickly. There are floor plans with anywhere from one to three bedrooms, with rental rates starting at $985/month for a one bedroom apartment -- and going up to $1500-$1700 or a three bedroom apartment. These apartments are certainly a unique addition to our local rental market and I have been pleasantly surprised that they have leased as quickly as they do. Larger metro areas certainly seem to have lots of these types of rental communities, but this was a first for Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. | |

Harrisonburg Southeast Connector Progress Update |
|
 The newest section of the Southeast Connector (Stone Spring Road) is now open between Peach Grove Avenue and Port Republic Road. The photo above is looking back towards the City.  This photo (above) is looking down the new section of Stone Spring Road towards Port Republic Road and Sentara RMH Medical Center.  Now we're getting (above) a bit closer to Port Republic Road, and we can see Sentara RMH Medical Center, Bojangles and The Reserve at Stone Port.  The section of this new road between Boyers Road and Route 33 East (shown above) seems as if it might be the next section to be completed. | |

I almost got lost on the way to the Wellness Center yesterday |
|
 click here for a larger version of this image Have you driven on Stone Spring Road lately near the Wellness Center? I had not done so in the last week or two, and thus had not yet become totally befuddled by the new road configuration in that area. As shown above, Peach Grove Avenue (which goes by Stone Spring Elementary) now connects all the way through to the new Connector Road. AND....if you were driving along Stone Spring Road, coming from Port Republic Road, you'll hit a dead end, and have to turn onto the new section of Peach Grove Avenue.....to then get on the Connector Road.....to get over towards the Wellness Center. AND....the people living on the section of Stone Spring Road between Peach Grove Avenue and the new Connector Road likely have a slightly trickier time getting to and from their houses right now given the construction in that area. Anyhow -- check out a larger version of the image above by clicking here, or drive through the area yourself to experience these road improvements. I'll be glad when the full Connector Road is finished! Oh, and here is the image without my labels. | |
