In a first (that I’m aware of) in Charlottesville – bicycle garages! **
They just make sense, particularly as the neighborhood in which these townhomes (archived: 2015) are being built is right in Downtown Charlottesville, is a 6 minute bicycle ride to the Mudhouse on the Downtown Mall.
Today’s post made me look back at a post I wrote nearly 8 years ago, in which I responded to a reader who wrote about there being, essentially “two Charlottesvilles” – those who live in the City and those who don’t.
Bicycle garages are evidence of the growing ability to live entirely in the City of Charlottesville if you so choose.
** This might seem like an ad for Southern Development, as 1) I’m a real estate agent and 2) my firm, Nest Realty, represents Southern Development but really, I just think these are cool. I was having a conversation on Twitter about the Burnet Commons 2 neighborhood and wondered why I hadn’t written about the bicycle garages before.
While not specifically an ad, I do happen to be a Realtor in Charlottesville and I’d answer your call or email if you are curious about these townhomes.
