The Honest Version

What Orchard Acres gets right — and what to factor in

What it gets right

  • Genuine entry pricing — a $400K median and recorded sales down to $327K — nearly unique in today's Crozet.
  • Established streets and no HOA-heavy amenity overhead typical of newer communities (verify any HOA per street).
  • A 10-day median on market — demand for the price point is real.

What to factor in

  • Nine sales in two years — thin comps, so condition and updates swing value more than usual.
  • Older housing stock means inspection findings matter more; budget for the systems a 1970s–80s home may need.
  • At $292/sqft on smaller footprints, the per-foot number reads high even when the sticker is low — compare totals, not just $/sqft.

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.
