Commuting and working from home are both favored in 29 North
29 North is where the urban neighborhoods adjacent to University of Virginia campus begin to become Charlottesville's retail-filled suburbs. Positioned along Route 29, moving north towards Washington, these hold the appeal of being commuter friendly. “One way of thinking about it is North 29 is South Washington,” says Steven Michaels, an early childhood educator in Charlottesville. “People that live here are commuting or working from home.” Lori Meistrell, associate broker with Nest Realty, adds that diverse employment opportunities within Charlottesville mean that not everyone has to go to Washington. “The city is home to a lot of defense and finance companies,” she says. “We also have a budding startup scene, with companies like Willowtree.” There’s an air of newness around this neighborhood, with developments like Belvedere having taken off during the 2010s. These modern developments feature popular styles like Craftsman homes and extras llike organic farms. And with multiple schools within the neighborhood, it’s easy to see how these northern Charlottesville suburbs are being fed with growth.
