Neighborhoods in Charlottesville, VA

Lewis Mountain

Lewis Mountain is the natural counterpart to Venable, the other Charlottesville neighborhood that hugs the University of Virginia. If Venable is the older sibling invested in the nightlife, Greek and dining scene, then Lewis Mountain is the younger sibling ensconced in sports and quiet suburban living. Roads with cul-de-sacs weave near the edge of

Venable

Venable is filled with the collegiate colors of orange and blue. “Charlottesville is University of Virginia, and University of Virginia is Charlottesville,” says Amy Spalding, accountant for Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates. But while it’s fair to say that this neighborhood is largely centered on the campus, it’s also true that a lot of

Barracks-Rugby

Barracks-Rugby takes its name from two important roads that meet in this neighborhood. Barracks Road serves largely as a commercial corridor and means of accessing highways that stretch across greater Charlottesville. Rugby Road, on the other hand, is a quieter strip that runs past residences and Greek life housing, eventually to the University of

North Downtown

Few areas distill the Charlottesville experience as much as North Downtown. Boasting an exclusively pedestrian open-air mall filled with bars, restaurants, shops and a concert pavilion, this neighborhood speaks to the city’s love of entertainment. “The mall really took off in the late '90s, and now you have this trend where every mid-size city

Martha Jefferson

The Martha Jefferson neighborhood is a star in its own right, even though North Downtown often gets put in the spotlight. Both of these areas qualify as downtown, but Martha Jefferson is primarily residential compared to its entertainment-forward neighbor, which features classic venues like the Paramount Theater and Miller’s, where musician Dave

Greenbrier

Greenbrier is a postcard-worthy suburb that wins on more than just aesthetics – it has a friendly reputation, too. “It’s the kind of place where you come home and you know your neighbor,” says Virginia Gardner, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Roy Wheeler Realty Company and a Charlottesville resident of over 30 years. “Being a smaller neighborhood

Pantops

Thomas Jefferson’s influence isn’t just present in Charlottesville’s downtown neighborhoods – even a suburban haven like Pantops derives its name from his writings. The name is a Greek mash-up that means “all seeing.” It’s appropriate for a neighborhood with sweeping views, particularly along the much-coveted Hyland Ridge Drive. But despite the

Johnson Village

Johnson Village is a small neighborhood comprised of a handful of streets just south of Jefferson Park Avenue. It has a quiet character, in part owing to Johnson Elementary School anchoring the north side. “There’s a little crosswalk on Cherry Avenue, and a lot of people like how the school is walking distance from home,” says Donna Goings, who’s

Locust Grove

Locust Grove is perched on top of North Downtown, and was developed as a midcentury community that could mesh with nearby urban surroundings. “It was designed as an extension of downtown,” says Realtor Joe Porterfield, who’s been in the area 40 years and is now with Avenue Realty. “You’ll notice that all the streets run at the same angles as

Fry's Spring

Fry’s Spring may be just a few blocks below the University of Virginia campus, but it reaches down to Interstate 64, covering parks, trails and shops along the way. It’s capped on the north by a set of train tracks that lead to Charlottesville’s Amtrak station – a de facto city marker separating the retail-rich stretches of Main Street from these

Ridge Street

During the 1950s, the Ridge Street neighborhood had a predominately African-American community. Some of the oldest homes have been divided into apartments so multiple tenants can live in a piece of history. Places like the Daughters of Zion Cemetery remind the current community of those who made the neighborhood what it is. Today, Ridge Street

Starr Hill

Some might say that the star attraction of Starr Hill is proximity to Charlottesville’s ever-popular outdoor pedestrian mall. But despite being steps away from the city’s downtown core, it thrives by having an identity all its own. That identity might be best described as urban but approachable, rather than overwhelming and hard to navigate. “This

Belmont

Ask a local which Charlottesville neighborhood they feel is hot right now, and many will say Belmont. There’s a reason this south downtown locale is getting so much attention: historically overlooked, people are checking out Belmont now because it has a slight rough and tumble vibe that appeals to people who want a hand in shaping local identity.

Jefferson Park Avenue

Jefferson Park Avenue is defined by the namesake street which can ferry traffic from the University of Virginia on the north end to a west end expressway. But with campus so close by, this has largely been a neighborhood geared toward those who want to walk where they work or study – a feature that has fostered a market for investors in

10th and Page

In the not-too-distant past, the stretch of Main Street that passes through the 10th and Page neighborhood was considered by many locals a kind of no man’s land. “Students just wouldn’t walk that far, and certainly not up to the Amtrak station near Main and 8th Street,” says Monroe Allen, a real estate associate with Sotheby’s International and a

The Meadows

The Meadows is a northern suburb of Charlottesville with a penchant for attracting development. Originally, it was just north enough to be farmland, but like a lot of American suburbs, it took off midcentury. The Meadows isn’t cookie cutter, though – it’s connected to the story of Charlottesville. Development hasn’t just come in the form of

Fifeville

Fifeville is priced below areas that have revitalized in recent years, like Starr Hill or 10th and Page. As a result, there’s growing interest in this neighborhood, even though in the past it may have been overlooked. Fifeville is crowned by the city’s Amtrak station, and as locals describe it, the train tracks created a natural buffer separating

Rose Hill

Rose Hill is like a remix of Charlottesville’s hallmark qualities. This neighborhood has plenty of eateries interwoven with quiet residential streets, yet it’s not quite the dense environment of North Downtown next door. The feel of Rose Hill mixes urban with suburban sentiment. Even geographically, Rose Hill sits between the vibrant pedestrian

Barracks Road

Barracks Road is an atypical neighborhood when it comes to Charlottesville standards. “We aren’t really known for condos,” says Monroe Allen, an associate real estate agent with Sotheby’s International. “And in general, there’s not that much housing when you get this close to University of Virginia grounds.” But with the recent development of the
