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 Western Ridge gets right — and what to factor in

What it gets right

  • The established-family package — pool, clubhouse, real yards, and a school nearby — without new-construction noise.
  • A 6-day median on market shows demand for exactly that package.
  • Twelve sales spanning $499K–$885K — an honest ladder from entry to large family homes.

What to factor in

  • Six sales in the last 12 months — thin inventory means being ready when something lists.
  • HOA dues cover the pool and clubhouse — get the current fee and any assessment history in writing.
  • The 24-month median ($675K) and 12-month median ($623K) diverge on a small sample — the truth is a range, not a single number.

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.
