◼ People have had success finding houses in the circled area (also off of Cherry or JPA).
You can check apartments.com or similar websites.
Houses tend to be older (definitely tour before you
sign a lease) but are roomier and having a yard can
be nice
◼ Avoid 100% undergrad apartments such as Grandmarc or Wertland Square–they are grimy and full of 19 year olds partying at all hours
.
It can be confusing to determine how “undergrad”
an apartment is so when in doubt check with an
upperclassman or someone who went to UVA
undergrad!
