What you get
- The lowest entry price for new construction in Crozettownhome closings from $359,735, in a town whose overall median is $559,900.
- Genuinely walkable to downtown Crozet — library, farmers market, restaurants — which almost no new community in Albemarle can claim.

- The neighborhood borders the railroad tracks on one side — walk the specific lot and listen before you commit.
- HOA fees apply and vary by product type — get the current fee schedule in writing before you offer.
