About Urban Exchange

Living green is a lifestyle -- but it has been made much easier with the new Exchange building. Built using LEED principles, dense spray foam insulation, sustainable forest maple hardwood floors, low VOC paints, granite countertops, premium Jeld-Wen windows, underground secured parking, a recycling chute, 13 SEER HVAC systems with Puron, a green landscaped roof plaza and electric car plug in. This is a metro home that is designed for those who have "been there, done that" and decided that having a refuge providing peace and comfort can be a good thing. The book exchange lounge and glass walled gym is pretty cool as well. Located at the edge of Old Town you can walk to more than 27 restaurants/breweries, library, shopping, JMU, the many events on Court Square or even Forbes!

Urban Exchange is an apartment community located in Harrisonburg County and the 22801 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Harrisonburg City Public Schools attendance zone.

Neighborhood

Downtown Harrisonburg is everything a great little downtown should be: brick-paved sidewalks, historic architecture, narrow streets, fantastic boutiques, and terrific restaurants. There are museums: the Valley Turnpike Museum & Civil War Orientation Center, the Explore More Discovery Museum, and the Virginia Quilt Museum. You'll find a variety of art galleries, many featuring work by artists from the Shenandoah Valley region. And there are plays at the charming Court Square Theater.

This walkable, artistic, and historic neighborhood also offers several terrific events and festivals year-round, including the Rocktown Beer & Music Festival, Taste of Downtown, the Strawberry Festival, the Skeleton Festival, and the Farm to City Festival. Located directly north of James Madison University, Downtown Harrisonburg has a large student population. Residents can cheer on the James Madison University Dukes football team at Bridgeforth Stadium.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
