Neighborhoods
Our neighborhood is in the heart of the City of Charlottesville. It is a mix of newer and older homes, but a plethora of connecting sidewalks that make it a great place to take a walk or ride a bike. There are also restaurants and a coffee shop at the entrance to our street, making walkability a big reason we moved here! We particularly enjoy Fry Spring Station, a local pizza joint with many other goodies on their menu to engorge on.
