Charlottesville Dream Home Wish List

Do you cruise the Charlottesville Area Home Listings daily, dreaming of your next home?

Here is a prompt to help you decide what your wishlist priorities are:

Neighborhood

What neighborhoods or type of neighborhood do you prefer? Do you want to have neighbors in sight (the more the merrier?) or nobody else’s home within view? What do you and your family value: sociability or privacy, quiet or convenience, walkability or acreage? Do you want goats or a gatehouse, a neighborhood pool or nearby hiking?

Schools

What school systems do you want to be in?  If you don’t know specifically, what research do you need to do to try to answer this question?
