A Good Neighborhood (in Charlottesville) – Belvedere

Bret in Belvedere writes:

The other day the weather was nice and children and their parents were on the playground, on the sidewalks, and in the alleys, laughing, chatting and generally having fun.

I felt a familiar feeling and searched for what it was and realized that this neighborhood, on these days, reminds me of Sesame Street. And for me, that’s a good feeling.

I always tell my buyer clients to visit neighborhoods without me at various times – Sunday afternoons, Friday nights, Monday mornings … I have had several buyers tell me that they found the Belvedere neighborhood to be the most active neighborhood they visited.

* as an aside, I’m baffled by the wide range of Walk Scores in Belvedere – n/a to 18 to 77.
