As home to the University of Virginia, established by Thomas Jefferson, the city centers around the Downtown Mall, an eight-block outdoor pedestrian area lined with shops and restaurants. The rental market offers diverse options, with average rents ranging from $1,182 for studios to $2,548 for four-bedroom homes, reflecting a 4.5% year-over-year increase. Notable areas include the Rugby Road neighborhood near UVA's Grounds, the West Main Street area, and Belmont, each featuring a selection of newer apartment communities and restored historic properties.

      The city showcases its heritage through Monticello and the University's Rotunda, both designated UNESCO World Heritage sites. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate access to Shenandoah National Park and local green spaces like McIntire Park and Riverview Park.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

      Seriously Awful

      We lived at Rio Hill for over five years and went through so many property managers. Rules are always changing and there is no consistency with if you get repairs done or not. My friend still lives here and hasn’t had a working dish washer in over 8 months and had to threaten to call legal aid to get her AC turned on this summer

      Property Manager at Rio Hill Apartments, Responded To This Review

      We are disappointed your experience was not more enjoyable. We are committed to addressing all resident concerns, and we wish we could have parted on better terms with you. Our resident experience is our number priority, and we seek to improve with every interaction. We wish you the best.

      8/1/17
      Youll regret it

      Do not rent here the woman in the office that name starts with s is flaky and emotionally abusive. Makes rules up as she pleases.

      Best View!!

      I’ve lived here 5years and love it!! The management is friendly, efficient, embracing with a wealth of knowledge. Ski and Sonia are wonderful and make you feel like family; caring about everyone the same. Larry the Maintenance Supervisor has such expertise and will run to your apartment in an emergency. My apartment has the best view EVER!!

      Living Out Mallside

      Although this is my first year living out Mallside, I enjoy living there. It's definitely different from where I was living before Imoved there. The neighborhood alone is peaceful. The neighbors are nice and respectful. I absolutely love how its a park and a pool that I can take my niece to when I get to spend time with her. The fitness room that's a plus. I personally use the fitness room whenever I have free time. The inside of the apartment is spacious. It definitely feels like home to me every time I walk in. The whole apartment is fully carpeted. Everything is on one level and its handicap accessible. The master bedroom has a walk in closet and a bathroom. There is a patio/balcony in each apartment which is really nice. I enjoy sitting outside watching everybody coming and going during the day and sitting out there on the peaceful night. The apartment overall is just amazing and so is the neighborhood!
