Greedy landlords, a groundhog pledge, & 213 Fox Horn Ln

My Home of The Week I am thrilled to show you this amazing home tucked away in the highly sought-after Charlottesville neighborhood of Foxcroft. There is so much to love about this property, but what truly makes it stand out is the incredible amount of natural sunlight that pours into the living areas. I don't know about you but I do not like a dark kitchen. Check out the video below! 213 Fox Horn LnCharlottesville, VA 22902Listed by Me Check Out The Home What Has Changed Avenue Realty &...

My Home of The Week This home isn't on the market, because it no longer exists! But I want to bring to life what Habitat for Humanity is doing in Crozet. In 2024, they purchased this home that had been vacant for many years and was built with asbestos, inside and out. It wasn't safe, and it wasn't a great look sitting at the entrance to the city. They recently got zoning approved to build two units on the lot, and Habitat wants to bring affordable housing to Crozet. To qualify to buy one of...

My Homes of The Week Shameless plug here, but I have two homes on the market that I want to promote, can you blame me? Funny enough, they both have the exact same square footage. The first is a townhome in Forest Lakes South, located on a quiet cul-de-sac and built in 2004.

My Home of The Week It can be tough to find this kind of value in such a highly sought-after Crozet neighborhood! This home is an absolute gem for anyone wanting to live in the heart of town, right across the street from Crozet Park, while soaking up all the luxuries of a fantastic, family-friendly community. I have a huge soft spot for this neighborhood because it was crafted by Craig Builders. That's right... it's me. Just kidding! Man, it would be awesome if I owned Craig Builders, but...

My Home of The Week I'll be honest: I'm not a huge fan of most new construction these days. Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly live in one! But with the rising cost of materials, land, and simply doing business, builders have had to protect their margins by stripping away the personality, and I miss that personality. This home on Claremont Lane in the Old Trail neighborhood was built in 2013, and it actually has charm. I can hear you already: "But Craig, those columns in the hall!!" Okay, fair....

My Home of The Week I don’t want you to buy this house. At least, not in the way you’ve been taught to buy one. When you look at 608 Davis Ave, I want you to look past the "3-bedroom" label and see the 3,190 square feet of potential. Today, everything is built for "luxury," luxury apartments, luxury condos, luxury finishes, but we have a massive shortage of attainable community. In 10 years, I believe co-living will be a national standard in America, much like it already is in major hubs...
