Review of Charlottesville, Virginia


Number one city....?
Star Rating - 9/4/2007
We moved here thinking it would be a great place to raise our new family.It is very expensive here. The city grew so fast that companies salaries do not compare to the cost of living. Housing is very expensive, a lot of hippies and transients in the city. Groceries are also very expensive compared to where we came from. The traffic is insane!! We avoided the DC area but it is just as bad here. It takes us 20 minutes to go 5 miles...no joke. More a good place for singles not families.

Sorry you fell for the realtor's hype about the town. Everything you said is true.
