Historic property in Little High neighborhood sells for $3 million and 34 other Charlottesville transactions from November 2025

Charlottesville Community Engagement intends to be a way for anyone who reads it to gain a greater appreciation of the mechanics of our corner of civilization. There is a focus on local government, transportation, economic development, environmental policy, and the real estate market.

The latter requires a steady amount of research into transactions and for over five years I have produced a periodic look at what is happening inside Charlottesville. For many years these were behind the paywall but I’m forgoing that for now in the hopes of giving people a glimpse into an ever-shifting landscape.

Here is some of what I am looking for each time:

• I want to see how the city’s Development Code is being implemented and part of that involves seeing who is buying what. I check many transactions against the city’s permit portal to see if anything is planned.
• I want to get a general sense of where property assessments might be going. Since 2020, they’ve been climbing quite rapidly allowing the city to collect tens of millions of dollars more in revenue. In 2020, the total taxable value for real property was just under $8.2 billion. In 2025, that figure had increased to nearly $11.7 billion.
• I want to see how construction of new neighborhoods is coming along. This time around sees sales of some of the first homes in the Flint Hill community.
• I want to know how much it costs to renovate homes and the rules for when building permits are required.
• I want to better understand what happens when there is a foreclosure.
• I want to learn more about how deed restrictions can keep units available as affordable housing well into the future

I’m not a real estate expert and I am not trying to paint any trends. I am a person with a deep curiosity for how things work and I became a reporter decades ago to try to figure things out. A paid subscription through Substack or a charitable contribution through the Tiny News Collective will keep me researching for many years to come.

Now, on to the November 2025 property transactions sans paywall! Please share with people you think might be interested.

• It may take me a long time to get these property transactions out but I do keep an eye on them in real-time. On this day, the Keelan Property Group paid $840,000 for 303 Alderman Road in the Lewis Mountain neighborhood. A previous company had purchased the land and they were the first to file a “major development plan” under the new Development Code. Evergreen Homebuilders had sought to take advantage of the zoning to build townhouses. However, they abandoned the project as I explained in an article for C-Ville Weekly.
  
  The city is now reviewing a building permit to keep the house a single-family home. The transaction was 5.94 percent above the 2025 assessment of $792,900 and 3.49 percent above the 2026 assessment of $811,700. (Residential-B, 0.31 acres)

• A newly-built four-bedroom townhouse on Keene Court in the Fry’s Spring neighborhood sold for $585,905.
