Family-scale lots with a pool and clubhouse community
What you get
- The established-family packagepool, clubhouse, real yards, and a school nearby — without new-construction noise.
- A 7-day median on market and a 100% median sale-to-list ratio across the last 20 closings — homes here go at asking.
- 20 sales spanning $485K–$885K — an honest ladder from the smallest Stonegate Lane homes to large family houses.
What to weigh
- 9 sales in the last 12 months — steadier than most Crozet neighborhoods its size, but still not constant choice.
- HOA dues cover the pool and clubhouse — get the current fee and any assessment history in writing.
- A $485K–$885K spread is wide for one subdivision. Stonegate Lane sits at the bottom of it, so the median tells you less here than the tier you are actually shopping.
