The Highlands at Blue Ridge Shadows sits in a quiet spot with mountain views and is part of a neighborhood community. Homes here look like Colonial or Traditional styles and mixed with the newer builds-a main story, built in 2019, that's sitting on Lot 154 at 39 Bogey Ct, with a 0.32-acre lot and about 1,810 square feet of living space. These are detached, single-family homes with vinyl and brick, and they've got a front porch for sitting, a fenced backyard, and a sunroom to relax in, plus an open concept inside that includes a fireplace that runs on gas or propane, so it keeps things warm without much fuss. Seniors can expect three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen that's got a big island, granite counters, stainless gas appliances, and a walk-in pantry-part of the home's modern layout-but everything tries to keep things simple to manage. The two-car garage has inside access and opens out front to the cul-de-sac, which keeps things quiet and peaceful.
The community offers different levels of care-independent living, assisted living, and memory care-all run as part of a larger system known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, allowing people to get help as their needs change over time. Some homes offer extra support for seniors who want help with daily things like bathing, dressing, managing medicine, or even meals, but still want to do most things themselves. 24-hour supervision and a call system in place help keep residents safe, and some services work well for people with higher care needs, like those with Alzheimer's or dementia, thanks to special memory care programs. Memory care here brings around-the-clock support and activities to help people feel comfortable and stay active, in a secure setting so families don't have to worry about wandering or confusion.
Community services include housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and help with moving in, and staff provide daily activity assistance, medication help, and personalized routines for each person. Every day brings scheduled programs and events, from arts and crafts, music, and movies to fitness and walking paths outside. Care homes for small groups and larger buildings are both part of the neighborhood, so some folks will live with just a few neighbors, while others might enjoy the social side of choosing more group spaces and activities. Meals get served restaurant-style with options for special diets, and families can rest a little easier knowing all meals, help, and supervision are covered.
Homes offer modern touches like central air, programmable thermostats, natural gas heat and water, cable and phone, and public water and sewer, with HOA dues covering some things like lawn care and trash pickup-handy for folks who don't want to worry about yard work. The school district is Warren County Public Schools, property taxes are around $1,961 a year, and the monthly HOA fee is $178, with recent sale listings around $400,000. The Blue Ridge Shadows community is managed by a Weichert, REALTORS agent, and property details, value assessments, or showings can be set up easily online for anyone looking to make a move. There's no fancy or unusual claims-just a steady place for seniors, with good support, friendly spaces, and what most would call a simpler, quieter way to live.
