Of the neighborhoods on this site, Old Trail and Haden Place are Brownsville Elementary; the rest are Crozet Elementary, with a few boundary exceptions noted on their pages. Every one then goes to Henley Middle and Western Albemarle High. Albemarle County Public Schools assigns by physical home address, so confirm the specific house.

Still have a question about Crozet?

If it isn't on this page, it's probably something nobody has written down yet. Ask it and I'll find out — the good ones become new sections here.

Which Crozet neighborhood should you choose?

Most relocating buyers narrow to two or three neighborhoods, and it usually comes down to the same trade: amenities versus walkability versus lot size. Old Trail gives you the longest amenity list and the most construction; Westhall and Downtown give you a real town at the end of the sidewalk and older houses to maintain.

Every guide below carries 12 months of real sold data, the HOA and fee math, and a named trade-off — not just the good parts.

Does the neighborhood decide the school?

No — the street address does. This is the single most expensive assumption buyers make in Crozet, because it looks like it should work the other way.

Two houses on the same street can feed different elementary schools. Albemarle County assigns elementary attendance by street address. Albemarle County redistricted more than 200 students into Crozet Elementary to rebalance enrollment between the two Crozet schools, and the western elementary boundary last moved in 2022 — so any zoning list published before then is out of date. Some of those out-of-date lists are still live on the big listing portals. Confirm the specific address with the county before you write an offer, not after.
