Moving to Crozet: Why Crozet is Becoming the Move-to-Town

by Jessica Russo

If you’ve been dreaming about mountain views, small-town charm, and easy access to Charlottesville… Crozet might be calling your name.

I recently watched the “Moving to Crozet, Virginia?” video on YouTube, and it’s the perfect snapshot of why this little town is quickly becoming one of Central Virginia’s most sought-after places to live.

So, let’s break it down.

1. Crozet: The Location Advantage

Crozet sits right at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains - close enough to Charlottesville for a quick commute, but far enough to actually breathe.

It’s that ideal balance:

Small-town peace and mountain air.
Easy access to shops, restaurants, and highways.
A real sense of community that’s hard to find anywhere else.
If you’ve ever said, “I just want a little more space and a little less noise,” Crozet delivers.

2. The Numbers Tell a Story

Here’s what the data says about Crozet:

Population: around 9,200 residents
Median household income: roughly $121,000
Median home value: about $526,000
Education: over 75% of adults hold a bachelor’s degree or higher

Translation? Crozet attracts professionals, families, and lifelong learners who want quality of life and long-term investment.

3. The Lifestyle Everyone’s Talking About

Crozet isn’t just pretty - it’s intentional.

The video highlights its strong sense of community and love of the outdoors. You’ll find:

Weekend hikes and local breweries.
Family-friendly events and tight-knit neighborhoods.
Top-rated schools and a small-town rhythm that’s slowing life down (in the best way).

People move here for the views.
They stay for the community.

4. A Few Things to Keep in Mind about Moving to Crozet

Because let’s be honest — no place is perfect.

Commute: It’s about 20 minutes to Charlottesville. Totally doable, but worth knowing if you’re headed there daily.
Price point: Homes are in high demand, which means prices continue to rise. Planning early matters.
Growth: Crozet is expanding, and with that comes new development. The key is finding a neighborhood that matches your vibe — whether that’s new construction or an established pocket of charm.

5. What This Means for Buyers

If you’re ready for a move that’s about more than just a new house, Crozet might be it.

Ask yourself:

Do I want to trade traffic for trails?
Am I craving community more than convenience?
Do I want my home to feel like a getaway—without being far away?

If the answer is yes, then Crozet deserves a spot on your shortlist.
