3101 LINK Road, Lynchburg, VA 24503

If you want a place you can lock up and leave without ever touching a lawn mower, this is it. It's a brick townhome in The Forest, and the HOA earns its keep: for $250 a month it covers the outside upkeep, the grounds, trash, water and sewer, your parking, plus a community pool and tennis courts. Inside you've got two levels, a roomy great room, an eat in kitchen with a pantry, and a private patio out back for your morning coffee. Two bedrooms, a full bath and a half bath, central electric. You can walk to the grocery store, the bank, and a bite to eat, and you're right off Old Forest Road so everything's close. About as easy as owning a home gets.
