A pet-friendly suburb with unbeatable access to Downtown

Wooded Suburban Park-Like Restaurants Upscale

South Charlottesville is a reprieve from big-city living, while still remaining directly south of Downtown Charlottesville near big-city amenities and the University of Virginia. This spacious, wooded suburb has a park-like atmosphere to it, and in fact, this district offers a few city parks. Azalea Park features a dog park, playground, and ball field, while Riverview Park sits on 27 acres of riverfront preserve with biking and walking trails.

Situated on Interstate 64, community to nearby areas is a breeze, but South Charlottesville features amenities of its own. 5th Street Station is an outdoor shopping center with delicious restaurants and bars like Timberwood Tap House. Residents who need more shopping, entertainment, and dining options can venture directly north into the Downtown Mall. Apartments, houses, townhomes, and condos in this area have a luxury, modern vibe in a cozy, suburban area.
