Follow the experience of buyers who are building a house in the Belvedere community off of Rio Road.
A sampling:
Stonehaus has very much impressed me with their commitment to reaching all their goals. I think it is a most unusual development firm, one that is forward thinking and a pioneer in urban development. I had reservations about getting involved with this project, and I have tested this company in a few ways (you can ask them!). But I am convinced of their integrity and am joining them to make their dream (and mine) come true.
I’ve written before that Belvedere (archived: 2023) is one of the only new developments in the region about which I am excited by what they are doing. If they can successfully implement their plan
Belvedere is just as much a way of life as it is a place to live. Subdivisions have amenities. But here ideas, possibilities and public spaces are woven into the urban fabric and ecosystems that make up Belvedere. The result is a healthy and full way to live. And a lot of great stuff that you can walk to.

EarthCraft certified homes, LEED certified buildings, A walkable neighborhood. Organic farm and pocket parks. These are the ways Belvedere is starting its life as a sustainable community. It’s a wonderful thing to be a part of.
(and I expect they will, with input from great clients such as mine) – it should be a great place to live.
Developments couldn’t pay for better marketing and exposure than what they are getting from Home at Belvedere.
Disclosure – the author of the blog is a client of mine, and I am invested in their having a great experience today, tomorrow and for their time in the Charlottesville area; I am truly grateful for all that I have learned from them so far.
