Only 3 homes sold here in the 24 months ending June 2026, closing between $680,000 and $896,000. With a sample this small, we publish the range rather than pretend a median is precise — and any pricing conversation should be built on the specific home, not the neighborhood average.

Medians for smaller neighborhoods use 24 months of sales; where fewer than five homes changed hands, we show the range instead of a median — one sale isn't a market.

The Honest Version

What Emerald Ridge gets right — and what to factor in

What it gets right

  • Scarcity itself — three sales in two years usually means owners aren't looking to leave.
  • The three recorded sales cluster in a consistent upper-mid band — no wild spread.
  • Established, settled, quiet.

What to factor in

  • Three sales is not a market — any list price here rests on judgment more than comps.
  • If you want in, patience is the whole strategy; you may wait a year for a listing.
  • We publish the range, not a median — one more sale could move a 'median' by six figures, which is why we don't print one.

The Western Albemarle pattern: Brownsville or Crozet Elementary (assigned by address — verify per home), then Henley Middle and Western Albemarle High.

Written by Josh Keeton, Town Realty

I work Western Albemarle street by street, which in practice means I get the school-zone question more than any other. This page exists because the zone answer is genuinely hard to find in one place, and because getting it wrong is expensive. Every figure here is dated, sourced, and reviewed when the county updates.
