Shamelessly playing off today’s USA Today story, with listings added by me (no longer available):
A look at three Charlottesville neighborhoods
• Keswick Estate. Keswick is a historic district just east of downtown and close to Monticello. The biggest draw is Keswick Hall, a 600-acre gated community that is home to the Keswick Club with an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, an Orient Express hotel, and the Estates at Keswick Hall, 124 home sites ranging from 2 to 8 acres. The first two phases have been built, and the third and final phase includes 39 sites with Robert A.M. Stern designs available. Lots start at $345,000, with existing residences from $900,000 to nearly $5 million.
• Downtown. Anchored by a large pedestrian mall and walking distance of the University of Virginia, downtown is suddenly hot, with many new condos to choose from. “New condos are attracting a demographic looking to spend under $500,000,” Mailloux says. “You could be in a two-bedroom condo, and walk to both downtown and UVA, for $250,000 to $300,000. The Gleason is a new building offering condos from $300,000 to $800,000.”
• Ednam. “This is probably the most popular second-home area right now, with everything from condos and townhomes to detached single family homes,” says Mailloux. Located just west of downtown, it is a large, non-gated master-planned community that is completely built-out and well-established. One appeal for second-home buyers is that maintenance fees include “everything down to the landscaping and lawn care,” with about 150 houses and condos from $500,000 to $1.2 million.
Some of the Downtown Condos are selling, some are being re-designed and relaunched and some condos like The Gleason are nearing completion. It’s always amazing to read stories about Charlottesville sound like a theme park.

Unbelievable.
“Effective immediately FannieMae will no longer accept electronic signatures.” Why? Why???? This is the sort of thing I'd like to see Congress and the National Association of Realtors address. The inefficiencies created by needing wet signatures are tremendous. Printing, signing, scanning/faxing. Only to be told…
