THIS MONTH IN VIRGINIA HILLS
Each month I'll use this space to expand on something featured in the Virginia Hills neighborhood flyer — a seasonal homeowner tip, neighborhood history, useful city information or something happening nearby.
Storm preparation, home-maintenance reminders and local storm resources.
I live in and work extensively in Virginia Hills, so I keep a close eye on the homes, improvements and sales that shape our neighborhood. If you ever have a question about a property, remodel, recent sale or the value of your home, I'm always happy to be a resource.
