Remembering the past and moving forward
In Ridge Street, some of the oldest homes have been divided into apartments so multiple tenants can live in a piece of history. Places like the Daughters of Zion Cemetery remind the current community of those who made the neighborhood what it is. Today, Ridge Street continues to grow with new homes being built and new homeowners renovating older properties. Benjamin Reeves, a Realtor and CEO of The Titan Team with Keller Williams, says, “The neighborhood has charm with historic architecture and streets that have been there since Charlottesville’s founding. It's growing in popularity for multiple reasons, one of which is because it’s centrally located near downtown Charlottesville. It’s an affordable area with easy access to everything that makes Charlottesville desirable.” Ridge Street keeps its history in prominent view while putting locals close to shopping, dining and fun.
Ridge Street is home to the historic location of the Daughters of Zion Cemetery.
Murals are found scattered all throughout the Ridge Street neighborhood and surrounding area.

Single-family homes from $250,000
Homes built in the 1920s to the 2020s fill Ridge Street. Three-bedroom bungalows with wide front porches sell for $250,000 to $375,000. There are also townhouses that range from $350,000 to $600,000. Most homes have ranch or Craftsman designs, uncovered parking and moderate yard space, all for $545,000 to $975,000. “Whether you’re a primary homebuyer or strictly looking for an investment property, there’s a huge investment opportunity for both,” Reeves says. “The area has seen steady property value increases year after year, making it a sound opportunity for first or second homes and real estate investors wanting to expand their portfolios. That can be done by renovating older homes. The area is mostly built out, but some lots do come up for new construction.” Homes here take roughly a month to sell, but some sell within a week of hitting the market.
Ridge Street houses come in all shapes and sizes some are very small single family homes.
Craftsman Style Homes are plentiful in the beautiful neighborhood of Ridge Street.

Walking, biking and driving downtown
Reeves says, “The neighborhood is extremely accessible to the Downtown Mall, Main Street and UVA by biking, walking and driving.” Narrow sidewalks line most of the streets, and the sidewalks bordering Ridge Street lead to downtown Charlottesville, making it easy to walk or bike less than a mile to the city center. Those who work, teach or learn at the University of Virginia can drive one mile to campus. CAT buses have stops along Ridge Street for commuters who prefer public transit.

Shopping and dining near Ridge Street
Ridge Street has shopping destinations to the north and south. The Ix Art Park brings culture and creativity to the greater Charlottesville area, but Ridge Street residents live so close to the action they can walk less than a mile north to see the art installations, visit the farmers market every Saturday or order a flight of locally made sake at North American Sake Brewery & Restaurant. “The sake bar is a unique place. That’s what makes the greater Charlottesville area so special, because we have some of the most restaurants per capita.” The Downtown Mall has restored historic buildings that hold restaurants and shops. The 5th Street Station shopping center south of the neighborhood features a Wegmans grocery store, Chimm Thai restaurant and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Across the street, the Willoughby Square Shopping Center has a Food Lion and Family Dollar.
