My wife and I are planning on moving to Harrisonburg in June. I was wondering if anyone could advise me on nice apartments to live? We are in our early 30's, so specifically, I would like to find out about places with little to no young students. And we have a 70lb dog as well. Thanks.

I'm betting you'll find the better apartment complexes are the ones the students live in. The ones they avoid are probably the roachier ones. You're moving to a college town so you should probably get used to the idea of living amongst them. Only way to avoid them altogether would be to rent a SFH somewhere outside of town. I know the students are partial to the area East of 81 off Port Republic Rd. so you'll definitely want to steer clear of there.

When I lived in Harrisonburg (2 years ago) I had friends who lived at the Greens at Chestnut Ridge. As far as I remember they did not allow undergrad students, and allowed dogs. It was a nice apartment and community from what I could tell. There is another complex, Longview Oaks, that I know less about, but few students lived there besides grad students; I think it was mostly professionals.

I wish I could remember the name of the real estate company I tried to work with in finding a house for rent. There were a few I encountered that had listings for townhouse rentals in decent family-friendly neighborhoods within Harrisonburg, but not so close to JMU. I think trying to find one of these places would be a great option. Sorry I don't have more detailed information; I think I meticulously searched craigslist and the local classifieds to find these.
