Rio, a neighborhood in Charlottesville, offers a diverse range of housing options, including townhouses, condos, and single-owner homes.

Public transportation is available along main roads such as Rio Road and Hillsdale Drive. The neighborhood is served by highly rated schools, including Journey Middle and Albemarle High, which offers specialized programs like the Math, Engineering, and Science Academy (MESA) and Advanced Placement courses in partnership with Piedmont Virginia Community College.
