Charlottesville is a fabulous place to live with excellent schools, health care and arts. We're in central Virginia, surrounded by gentle rivers, green pastures, mild seasons and an easy drive to Washington, D.C., or the Atlantic coast. Charlottesville is a small city - just over 10.4 square miles, with 45,000 residents - but it has the trappings of a big one. Musical acts and dramatic performances, fine dining, lovely shops - all are available in abundance. Charlottesville is home to diverse job-generating enterprises, from large employers and the government to start-up companies.
