Today, April 2 at 6 p.m. until April 3 at 9 a.m., Pebble Creek, apartments in Roanoke, VAwill be lighting up our office BLUE to raise awareness of Autism. Abnormal biology and chemistry in the brain are linked to Autism, a physical condition. While this is a very active area of research, no one is quite sure of the causes of this disease. There is speculation that genetic factors play a part in Autism as well as diet, vaccine sensitivity and the body’s inability to use vitamins and minerals.
The exact amount of children affected by Autism is unclear, but they do know that it affects boys 3 to 4 times more than it affects girls. Help Pebble Creek show support for Autism.

Searching for a new apartment is not easy, especially in a city like Roanoke, VA where you have lots of options. Before you begin your apartment search, consider if you want a small apartment community or a larger one? Which apartment floor plan would work best for you? Think about which apartment amenities are important to you in an apartment community.
Here are some suggestions on how to simplify your apartment search.
Consider location
Try pinpointing an area in or around Roanoke that you want to live near such as your workplace or your favorite neighborhood, and search within a 1-mile or 5-mile radius of that location for apartment communities. Apartments in Roanoke, VA offer an easy commute and a wonderful community setting.
Use tools on online listings
Many apartment communities post apartment floor plans and photos online. Looking at images of floor plans and apartment amenities and features may help you decide what communities you want to visit.
What don’t you like about where you live now
When you make a list of what you don’t like about your apartment now, this will help you keep priorities top of mind. Don’t look at apartments that have those same features. Do you need more space? A larger kitchen? Do you need a community that allows pets? Do you need extra storage space? Or a pool? A well-kept fitness center?
Keep track
Make a spreadsheet that lists each community’s name, rent, amount of space, most important apartment amenities, and any other important facts or notes.
Many people are told when they are younger that renting is only for college graduates or people who cannot afford to buy. Many parents hammer these ideas into their children and tell them that renting is equivalent to throwing money away every month. Fortunately, today people are beginning to finally think for themselves and challenge these ideas. Here are 4 reasons to pat yourself on the back for deciding to rent an apartment in Roanoke, VA at an HHHunt Community!
1. Renting can save money
At the very minimum you’ll be shelling out PITI for your home. That is:
1. Principal
2. Interest
3. Tax
4. Insurance
The PITI doesn’t include property maintenance like maintaining the yard, paint, plumbing, repairs, decorating, etc… When you rent an apartment in Roanokeat an HHHunt community, the monthly payment is almost always quite a bit less than the PITI in your area and there are no maintenance expenses!
2. Homeowners’ tax deductions are overstated
According to research quoted by MSN, “… half of homeowners don’t get a break, because even with mortgage interest and property taxes, their total deductions do not exceed the standard federal tax deduction ($11,900 for couples and $5,450 for singles)”.
For these folks, it’s like spending $100 to save $20. They’re better off saving the difference and investing it. Even if there is a “break” on your taxes, you typically had to spend more than you would have spent to rent to get back that $20 for every $100 spent in interest payments.
3. Renting gives you flexibility
For the up and coming young professional, you’re better off renting and saving for a few years than to buy a small condo. Who knows how fast you will outgrow it? When you own a home, you can’t always sell it when you need to sell it at the price you want to sell it in order to accept a new employment opportunity. If you have owned a home and don’t want the constant maintenance responsibility, renting gives you the opportunity to enjoy your weekends instead of completing that “to do” list.
4. Our superb service teams!
Most apartment communitiesoffer 24 hour emergency maintenance and technicians who are skilled in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. At an HHHunt Community, our service teams take great pride in offering prompt and professional service to you. Whether you need a light bulb changed or a new compressor for your AC unit, we are there to take care of you as fast and efficient as possible. We are always a phone call or email away and most service requests are performed on the same day or within 24 hours!

The housing market is stagnating right now and real estate brokers would have potential buyers believe that there is no better time than the present to buy a home. It is true, prices are down and mortgage rates are at all-time lows.
Unfortunately for the real estate brokers, many clients are not persuaded by that logic. Instead, in increasing numbers, they are choosing to rent instead of buy — unconvinced that the housing market has yet hit bottom. Would be buyers also understand that unless you plan to stay in your home for more than 10 years, buying a home may not be the right investment for everyone.
