Who said you can’t have it all? At Elysian at Stonefield, resort-style living meets sophisticated urban convenience in this walkable north Charlottesville neighborhood.
Their unique combination of architecturally stunning apartments and luxurious amenities make life at home feel like a vacation — all while living steps away from shopping, dining and entertainment, with beautiful parks and trails nearby too.
You’ll also be close to the pedestrian-friendly Charlottesville Historic District, with its multitude of charming shops and restaurants, and the University of Virginia, each a bikeable 3 miles away. Public transportation is practically at your front door — and all Charlottesville Area Transit buses are free, so living at Elysian makes commuting to school or work really easy.
Stroll over to The Shops at Stonefield
Literally steps from home you’ll find The Shops at Stonefield, an exceptional outdoor mall, whose greenery and sidewalks provide a charming neighborhood outing. Here you can experience wonderful shopping, fine dining and casual eateries, entertainment and more — much more.
There’s also an amazing selection of eateries. Grab an Angus beef burger and cheese fries, or dine out on food from all over the world — Japanese, Korean, Mexican, even good old American barbecue and brewhouse fare. Then take in a hit movie at the 14-screen theater, and top off the evening with refreshing Italian gelato.
All that is just a small sample of what you’ll discover at The Shops — and with grocery stores right there too, you won’t have to go too far for your weekly food shopping.
Outdoor adventures await
There’s nothing like nature to restore the soul, and your urban home is remarkably close to an abundance of beautiful parkland.
Nearby is the Rivanna Trail, 20 miles of urban wilderness with hiking and biking for every level of fitness, from easy to challenging. The Rivanna Trail also includes Riverview Park, a paved riverside area that’s not only a lovely, pet-friendly walk, it’s handicapped accessible too.
Meadow Creek Valley is nearby, as well as Darden Towe Park, with its athletic fields, picnic tables and charcoal grills, playgrounds, tennis, hiking, a dog park and more.
Some surprising benefits of living in a walkable neighborhood
Being able to walk almost everywhere is more than just convenient. There are other important benefits to consider.
Walking rather than riding helps you stay fit. In fact, according to one study, people in the most walkable neighborhoods weighed less than those in the least walkable areas.
Living in a walkable neighborhood also reduces emissions and helps the environment. And — since transportation is the second largest expense for American households — walking also saves you money.
Most of us spend hours each day isolated in our cars just to get from one place to another, while a walkable neighborhood encourages connecting with others in an easier and more natural way.
So come visit Elysian and experience for yourself its unique combination of resort-style luxury and sophisticated urban living.
