TYPICAL HOUSE, DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTESVILLE - Charlottesville

TYPICAL HOUSE, DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTESVILLE

Upclass and university city?

Looking at numerous small, luxary boutiques, then upclass houses and residencies located around compact downtown and near university as well, I had an impression that Charlottesville is a small (40,000) mostly upclass city with large (20,000) student population which succesfully tried to mingle tradition with modern living.

Thomas Jefferson's town has long been known as one of the best places in America to go to college, and a terrific place to retire. A 2004 Frommer's survey ranked this laid-back kind of place as the No. 1 place to live among 400 U.S. cities. The hills have vineyards and lush horse farms; the town has wine bars and chic fusion-style cooking, plus lots of good cheap student eats.
