MAGAZINE, THE HORN!
1,406 1,200
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ACRES OF A
MASTERPLANNED COMMUNITY
Nestled within parkland, Virginia Run features traditional, single-family homes on lush one-third to five acre lots.
Children and adults connect with neighbors and nature on interlacing street sidewalks and an extensive trail system
which meanders through Virginia Run’s common ground, wooded parkland and flowering meadows. The Horn is a
monthly publication distributed to residents of Virginia Run and is the HOA’s official community publication.
GCG has been contracted by the Virginia Run HOA to redesign the Horn into a four color luxury magazine to
better reflect the premier status of the neighborhood. If you target Virginia Run for your products or services you
need to be in this neighborhood resource. Call or email GCG to secure your position today!
