So where is the best place to live in Charlottesville?

Well, that’s a loaded question because it ALL has to with what you will be doing when you move to Charlottesville. Let me remind you. Charlottesville is the City which is surrounded by Albemarle County.

If city living is your desire then you’ll need to know where to begin your search. The closer to the Historic Downtown Mall, the better.

If I was moving to Charlottesville and wanted to live in the country I would begin my search in Free Union, Earlysville, Ivy, and Crozet.

If you have school age children and want the best public schools then consider looking in Western Albemarle County. It’s an easy drive to and from the schools.
If you love golf and tennis then there are fabulous Charlottesville country clubs (both public and private) to the East (2), within the City limits (1), and West of the city (3).
If you fox hunt there are two hunts. One east of Charlottesville (Keswick Hunt) and the other to the north (Farmington Hunt) in Free Union.
If you were going to work at UVA then look to the Westside of the city and in Albemarle County in Ivy.
If you are going to work downtown then anywhere surrounding the city is great. The closer to the city the more expensive.
If you want spectacular Blue Ridge Mountain views and bucolic, open countryside then look at Crozet, Free Union, Earlysville, and Advance Mills.
And finally if you want seclusion and to be near the majestic James River then head to Scottsville.

All Zillow Five Star Customer Reviews

"Toby is extremely knowledgeable about the Charlottesville neighborhoods and knew all the history which was a definite plus for my wife. We both found him to be very personable and has a terrific sense of humor. He provided us with a vast knowledge after 5 long, day trips and gave us insight to where to buy and where not to buy."

"We worked with Toby Beavers for 3 months and when we went to purchase a home on the Historic Downtown Mall we found that our current home was not appraised at what we had thought. So we sadly did not move forward with the purchase. But Toby was fantastic and took it very professionally."

"I can't put into words how grateful we are to Toby. He is a skilled, professional with unbeatable negotiating skills. We got his help to purchase a Charlottesville home at a reasonable price especially in this crazy market. It was a profitable deal. Happy with my first investment in real estate."
