Neighborhood

As Charlottesville’s commercial district, Downtown features a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Historic Court Square lies in the middle of this downtown district and is the oldest part of the city of Charlottesville with buildings dating back to the 1800s. And in the heart of Downtown, discover the popular Downtown Mall, covering nine blocks on Main Street offering restaurants, boutiques, and theaters. Check out some local favorites like Citizen Burger Bar and South Street Brewery.

Community festivals and concerts are held within this commercial hub at locales like Sprint Pavilion, Jefferson Theater, and Paramount Theater. Though there are urban parks within Downtown, McIntire Park is a sprawling city park located just north of the neighborhood, offering hiking trails and ball fields for Charlottesville High School. Because of Downtown’s proximity to the University of Virginia, there’s a youthful presence in the community, along with a family-friendly vibe.
