This week, RLRVA editor WJ was invited into the private clubhouse in West Broad Village, and had an interview with homeowner Rebecca, who lives in one of the townhouses here.
Before the interview, we share something special with you: RLRVA's recently-acquired shopping map in Short Pump area :)

WJ: When did you move to West Broad Village?
Rebecca: I moved in at November 2016, I bought a townhouse in this community from Sarah Bice & Associates Real Estates LLC. I really enjoy living in here!
WJ: What are the reasons for you to choose West Broad Village?
Rebecca: The main reasons I choose West Broad Village are the living convenience, and the community’s environment. We all know that West Broad Village is great for shopping and daily commute, and I totally agree. I like Whole Foods (Editor’s note: the high-end organic grocery store located inside the community) a lot, because it provides healthy food.

Rebecca: And what I want to add to my statement is, the convenience is also in many details, especially in house maintenance. I used to live in a family house in Wyndham area near Short Pump, and that house has a lot of home and yard maintenances. I need to do all those by myself, which exhausted me every time. In here West Broad Village, I don’t need to worry about all those things, HOA (Editor’s note: Homeowner Association) does it, they take care of the yard, the exterior paints, the driveway cleaning, rooftop repairs, and many other things. Now I have more time to spend with my family, my dog, and myself! They have also installed UV protection windows and fire extinguish systems in every house.
WJ: So that means there are many nice design details that contribute to the living quality here?
Rebecca: Yes.
WJ: Also based on your experience, West Broad Village is kind of like those served apartments in big cities.
Rebecca: Yes, but with more privacy and flexibility.

WJ: How about the environment? Do you spend your weekend and recreational time in west broad village?
Rebecca: Yes, I spend most of my time here when not working and in the weekend. The parks and sidewalks are quite, beautiful and clean. I love my dog and I walk him everyday, and I feel safer to walk my dog here compared to the city, also less traffic and cleaner air. The community activities are nice and fun, we have summer concerts and movie nights, there is also an art fair happening soon.

WJ: Do you like the house design here?
Rebecca: Yes. I like the exteriors most, they are stylish, high-end and unique. The courtyards and gardens are also beautiful. The interiors are nice too, they come with affordable high-end styles and classes, and you can always update them at your wish.
WJ: Do you shop and eat in West Broad Village often?
Rebecca: Yes, I shop here a lot, mainly Whole Foods, Petco, Sweet Frog, and Short Pump Town Center. Also the nearby stores, like Bestbuy, Asian Market, and Costco. There are many nice restaurants and bars nearby too, especially Peter Chang and Maggiano’s.

Rebecca: Yes, five star! They are professional, fully dedicated to customer satisfaction, and pay attention to every detail. They are also multi-cultural and multi-lingual, which helps me a lot!
