Located at the corner of Country Club Drive and South Main Street, CHP’s Legacy on Main will offer much-needed affordable rental options near jobs, public transportation, and a grocery store in Blacksburg, Virginia. The 56-unit apartment buliding will be an ideal home for public school teachers, police officers, daycare workers, and many Virginia Tech employees who qualify.

The building, which is three stories off Country Club and tapers from three to four stories on Main Street, will feature two picnic areas, an outdoor plaza, a playground, and a community room. Legacy on Main will have professional, on-site management and resident services. The development includes a reconfigured curb and a widened sidewalk for pedestrian safety on Country Club Drive, as well as robust perimeter landscaping to mitigate light and sound pollution.

To qualify, residents may earn up to 80% of Blacksburg’s Area Median Income (AMI). For a family of four in Blacksburg, 80% AMI in 2025 was $87,700 a year. Full-time students, on their own, do not qualify to live at Legacy on Main based on Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LITHC) compliance regulations.
