My five favorite things about living in Charlottesville Virginia.
Charlottesville Virginia is a wonderful place in which to live. There are so many things to enjoy in Central Virginia and I am sure that if you ask 10 people what they like best about living the Charlottesville life they could all give you different answers.
These are the five things that I like best about life in Charlottesville:
- Charlottesville and Albemarle County are horse country. If you like horses and riding, there isn't a better place to live. The rolling countryside with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains is the perfect setting for a Virginia horse farm. There are frequent horseshows and two foxhunts. It's horse heaven.
- Many excellent restaurants. For anyone who likes food, wine and an evening out with friends there is nothing more enjoyable than spending an evening at a table on the downtown mall sampling an excellent meal at one of the area restaurants. Whatever type of food you like, chances are you can find a good Charlottesville restaurant that serves it.
- UVA Sports. I love college basketball and the Atlantic Coast Conference always fields some top notch teams. University of Virginia football, lacross and baseball provide additional athletic excitement.
- Charlottesville supports the Arts. Through the University and privately there are numerous art exhibits and galleries, a vibrant theatre community and live music of all kinds from classical to great rock and roll.
- Best of all are the people. Charlottesville boasts an eclectic and diverse society. I am lucky to have met many talented, interesting individuals. The people that I have been fortunate to call my friends are my absolute favorite thing about living in Charlottesville.
What are your favorite things about where you live?
You had me with the picture of the Rotunda and memories of living at 21 West Lawn a long time ago.
Pam: You do need to spell check the title.
Roy - Living in one of the rooms on the Lawn is quite an honor.
