The date of the Grand Opening has not been set, but one thing is for sure: it will be a BIG celebration!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month the Board of Supervisors will be asked to approve the contract for Brechbill &amp; Helman to complete the interior build out of the library. (It has already met approval from the Finance Committee, and we expect this final signature to be a formality.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the latest demographic reports for Dulles, the entire first floor will be dedicated to our children's collection!

She discusses five reasons you should consider buying now. &lt;br /&gt;1. Equity: buying while the market is down means you can build equity as the market returns.&lt;br /&gt;2. Relationships: this is perhaps the most important. Renters move in and out. People who own in a community, build relationships and lives together.&lt;br /&gt;3. Predictability: fixed mortgage rates are at an all time low. You'll be able to count on what your payment will be and manage your finances better.&lt;br /&gt;4. Ownership: no relying on anyone else. You own your domain.&lt;br /&gt;5. Great Deals: there is no questioning that you can get the best deal on a new home today than at any time in the recent past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's sort of like the perfect storm of home buying. Take advantage of it!&lt;br /&gt;To read Carla Hill's story, click here:&lt;br /&gt;http://realtytimes.com/rtpages/20111102_great.htm&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5943844324082880292-785796456395876067?l=stoneridgeva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stoneridgeva.blogspot.com/feeds/785796456395876067/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://stoneridgeva.blogspot.com/2011/11/reasons-to-buy-now.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5943844324082880292/posts/default/785796456395876067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5943844324082880292/posts/default/785796456395876067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stoneridgeva.blogspot.com/2011/11/reasons-to-buy-now.html' title='Reasons to Buy Now!'/><author><name>Stone Ridge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17770335479420559780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943844324082880292.post-707743616953780378</id><published>2011-11-08T07:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T07:25:08.641-08:00</updated><title type='text'>HGTV Furniture Sale</title><content type='html'>We wanted to let you know that we will be selling the furniture from the HGTV Decorated Showhouses on the 19th.

Kids are sledding everywhere, parents are taking walks, and the dogs are having a blast. The nice thing about living here, is you can walk to the store for supplies, or a restaurant to escape the house for a while. When Van Metre was planning Stone Ridge, they wanted to design a community that had it all...amenities, schools, parks, shopping &amp; dining, and offices. When you look outside today, you can see it all came together exactly like their vision. No wonder it's an award-winning community. There are no better new homes in Loudoun County!

I just found out Mug n' Muffin at the Stone Ridge Village Center has wi-fi, so I took my laptop up there, ordered a mocha latte (lots of whipped cream!), and a blueberry muffin. What a great environment. I saw a number of neighbors from Stone Ridge stopping in for the same thing. It was friendly, buzzing with conversation, and the owner, Doug Smith, was welcoming to everyone. If you've never done this, give it a try. If you are looking for new homes in Loudoun County, make this part of your house hunting process. You'll find out what a great new home community Stone Ridge is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I might have to go for that chocolate chip cookie...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5943844324082880292-4709962666164270400?l=stoneridgeva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stoneridgeva.blogspot.com/feeds/4709962666164270400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://stoneridgeva.blogspot.com/2010/01/feels-like-home.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5943844324082880292/posts/default/4709962666164270400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5943844324082880292/posts/default/4709962666164270400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stoneridgeva.blogspot.com/2010/01/feels-like-home.html' title='Feels Like Home'/><author><name>Stone Ridge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17770335479420559780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943844324082880292.post-8297627985813823548</id><published>2010-01-11T10:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-11T10:59:53.324-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Get Fit in 2010</title><content type='html'>You can feel the buzz of people starting off the New Year right.

The high school will be located in Stone Ridge West.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twenty-three acres of the school site will be located in the Stone Ridge community with the remaining seventy-four acres comprised of an assemblage of parcels situated along Goshen Road.  Access to the school facilities is planned via Northstar Boulevard (Relocated Route 659).  &lt;br /&gt;The proximity to Stone Ridge and surrounding communities, accessibility from Route 50, Tall Cedars and Braddock Road make this an attractive site from a transportation perspective.  The fact that all the utilities are immediately available also makes it an attractive site from a construction perspective. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The high school is planned to be open for the 2012-2013 school year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the beginning in 2001, Stone Ridge has been a supporter of our school partners. Recently Stone Ridge hosted the 4th Annual 5K Race for Education.  The race has raised over $75,000 that has been distributed to schools throughout Dulles South for various school projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Van Metre master-planned community, Stone Ridge is home to Mercer Middle School and Arcola Elementary.

The anxiously awaited Library will be located at Stone Ridge, a Van Metre Community in Loudoun County. The ceremony will take place on site in Stone Ridge beginning at 10 am followed by a reception at the Clubhouse. Loudoun County Public Library Director, Douglas A. Henderson said, “The Groundbreaking for Gum Spring Library on November 7 is a momentous occasion for the community and the County as a whole. I cannot think of a better investment in the future than this new Library.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Library will occupy two floors of the four-story building encompassing 40,000 square feet. Stone Ridge Community Development, LLC, is dedicating the space to the county. “This will be a strong addition to our thriving community,” stated Roy Barnett, Group President of Van Metre Companies. Loudoun County expects to open its doors in late 2011. “We are incredibly excited to have reached such an important milestone in the development of the Gum Spring Library,” said Karen Montgomery, Library Board of Trustee, Dulles District. “I’m looking forward to celebrating with you all again when we open the doors.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The addition of the Library will immediately add 160,000 books to the Loudoun County Public Library System. The Gum Spring Library will provide the professional staff, books and materials that will encourage children to become lifelong readers. Teens and adults will have access to a welcoming environment of information and all community members will have a world of technology waiting for them at the library. Plans for the Gum Spring Library include an exciting Teen Center for ages 12 to 18. Computer stations, gaming materials, and homework help are just a few of the teen related activities. A Fairy Tale Room for younger readers, and programs for all ages will be implemented. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Library is a prime example of a Private/Public Partnership that benefits the county and the community. The ceremony will be held at 24609 Nettle Mill Square, Stone Ridge, VA 20105.
