Charlottesville is a vibrant small Southern city with big city new urban appeal. A lively nightlife centered on a downtown historic district features concerts, theaters, free live entertainment, and great dining, all within walking distance of Hantzmon Wiebel’s office and leafy residential neighborhoods. The Virginia Film Festival, Festival of the Book, Dogwood Festival, and many other annual events dot the calendar; every First Friday of the month, art galleries open their doors to host openings and invite casual visitors. Home to the University of Virginia, Charlottesville is a youthful, energetic center of learning, culture, sports and activity. Charlottesvillians never complain that there is nothing to do!

Virginia enjoys four distinct seasons, but the climate is mild enough that every season is an outdoor season. In the surrounding county, bikers, hikers, and horseback riders enjoy the great Blue Ridge trails and vistas while skiers and snowboarders congregate at nearby Wintergreen. Swimming in Sugar Hollow, golfing at Birdwood, tubing down the James River, and many other fun activities are within a very short drive of the center of town. Add Charlottesville’s proximity to Atlantic beaches and metropolitan Washington, DC — and you have the perfect town in the perfect location. No wonder Charlottesville has been designated one of America’s Best Places to Live — many times over.
