Life Is Better Poolside at Brexx

Blacksburg is known for rolling hills, leafy trails, and scenery that changes with the seasons. Brexx at Blacksburg carries that character throughout the community with open lawns, landscaped walkways, and several ways to spend time outside.

Our apartments put those surroundings just beyond your front door. Spend an afternoon by the pool, get a game of sand volleyball going, or bring your dog along the walking trail before stopping at the on-site dog park.

Summer Days by the Pool

When temperatures rise in Blacksburg, the swimming pool becomes an easy place to cool down. Go for a swim, sit along the edge with friends, or stretch out beside the water when you have time for a slower afternoon. Cabanas provide shade during brighter afternoons, while the hammocks are comfortable spots for reading, listening to music, or catching up with friends.

The spacious pool deck leaves plenty of room to settle in without feeling crowded around the water. It also sits beside the clubhouse, keeping indoor amenities close when you are ready to step out of the sun.

Get Active With Friends

Sometimes the best college memories start with a little friendly competition. At Brexx at Blacksburg, you can round up your crew for a sand volleyball match, challenge your roommate to a ping pong or foosball showdown, or see who actually has the best cornhole aim. The sand volleyball court gives bigger groups plenty of room to get a game going, while ping pong, foosball, and cornhole make it easy to turn a few free minutes into an impromptu tournament. Whether you’re keeping score, defending a roommate rivalry, or just looking for an excuse to get everyone outside, these spaces make staying active and connecting with friends part of everyday life at Brexx.

Take Dinner Outdoors

Outdoor grills let residents move dinner beyond the kitchen. Bring something simple to cook after an afternoon at the pool, or meet your roommates outside for a meal when the weather is too good to spend the evening indoors.

Once dinner is finished, return to the games, relax near the pool, or take a walk around the community. There is no need to end the evening just because everyone has finished eating!

Follow the Walking Trail

Brexx at Blacksburg’s walking trail provides another way to enjoy the property’s green surroundings. Use it for a morning walk, clear your head after class, or take a longer route back to your cottage when you are not in a hurry.

After a busier afternoon near the pool or volleyball court, the trail offers a calmer way to spend time outside.

Bring Your Dog Along

The walking trail is also convenient for daily walks with your dog. Follow it through the community, then head to the on-site dog park when your pet still has energy to burn.
