Jaunt, Inc. Encourages Central Virginians To Make A Plan To Vote
NEWS & VIEWS
Live Arts presents LOST HOME, WIN HOME LOST HOME, WIN HOME follows the individual perspective of a Black Charlottesville native as she recounts the events leading up to the Unite the Right/Neo-Nazi rally on August 12, 2017. She provides valuable context to the people, places, and things in her life that affected her experience of the tragic event. While this is a story about the Unite the Right rally and the circumstances surrounding it, it is also about the unifying concepts of winning, losing, and finding the place we call home. LOST HOME, WIN HOME has been performed as a work in progress at the Acorn Theatre New Works Theatre Festival (NYC) and Lifeline Theatre Fillet of Solo Festival (Chicago). Tickets and Performances Tickets can be purchased for a suggested price of $15 or on a Pay-WhatYou-Can basis through the Live Arts Box Office online at livearts.org or by phone at (434)-977-4177 x123.

Jaunt may be the answer for people for whom transportation is an issue. Jaunt, Inc. is urging central Virginians to make a plan to vote. Election Day is approaching and early voting in Virginia has already started. Whether you’re voting early or casting your ballot on Election Day, Jaunt can help you get there – free! Public transportation, particularly the demand-response service offered by Jaunt, is an effective option to help those who would otherwise not vote due to transportation issues. In the area that CAT serves; the City of Charlottesville and urban Albemarle County, passengers can book a ride with Jaunt if they are ADA certified. To qualify, riders must apply for ADA certification at www.charlottesville.gov/adaapp. In rural Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties, any and all people can book a ride with Jaunt’s standard demandresponse service. ADA certification is not required in these localities to ride with Jaunt. As always, the health and safety of Jaunt’s passengers and drivers is our greatest concern. To protect our riders and drivers from the threat of COVID-19, we are not charging fares to minimize the risk of person-to-person contact; we have limited the number of passengers per-
mitted on a vehicle at any given time to allow for social distancing; all drivers are wearing CDC-approved face coverings; all passengers are required to wear face coverings while riding Jaunt; and every Jaunt vehicle is cleaned and disinfected daily following CDC protocols. Jaunt is committed to making in-person voting available and safe for those who need it. To book a ride to the polls with Jaunt, call 434-297-2627 or email trips@ridejaunt.org. Don’t wait, reserve your ride to vote early today, or plan to reserve your ride for Election Day as early as October 20! Due to current reduced capacity on our buses to allow for social distancing, riders are encouraged to book at least a week before Election Day in order to help us maximize our schedules, respond to demand, and guarantee service. Jaunt wants to make sure that everyone who wants to reach the polls, can. Make a plan! If transportation is an issue for you, Jaunt may be the answer to help you get to your polling location. Jaunt, Inc. is Central Virginia’s regional public transit system, connecting people to their community. Jaunt delivers convenient and reliable service with its demand response and commuter routes, all through the use of current technology and a customer-focused approach.

Women United in Philanthropy 2020 Human Services Grant Awards Presentation On Thursday, October 1, 2020, Women United in Philanthropy (WUP) revealed the winners of a total of $50,000 in grants ($25,000 each) to two area nonprofits selected by a member vote on 501C3 organization finalists that serve women and children. Since its inception in 2005, WUP has awarded more than $640,000 to local organizations. Each of the five area nonprofit finalists applied for programmatic
or project-based funds and participated in a year-long grant application process. “I’m amazed each year at the dedication and passion for our community that we see in each organization’s grant proposal and the presentations. Creating awareness of the needs in our area and those working hard to meet those needs is important. And they are even more so in such a challenging year like this. Without the continued support and generosity of our WUP members, we wouldn’t be able to fund these two $25,000 grants that will help the recipients continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of others,” said Kendra Stribling, the WUP grant committee chair. The awards presentation was streamed publicly on the WUP Facebook page where a recording of the celebration can also be found. The 2020 Grant Finalists were: • AHIP (Albemarle Housing Improvement Program) – Safe at Home Program • All Blessings Flow – Pickup and Delivery Program • The Front Porch – Roots and Wings Music Education • Nearby Baby - Postpartum Doula Training • Piedmont CASA – Bridges to Success for Older Youth in Foster Care This year’s grant recipients are AHIP and Piedmont CASA WUP grants are funded through membership. Individual memberships start at just $100, with Corporate and Underwriter opportunities also available. For more information about Women United in Philanthropy, membership, and the grant process, visit www.WomenUnitedCville.org. About Women United Women United in Philanthropy is a collective giving organization formed in 2005 in partnership with United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area. The organization’s mission is to engage with like-minded women, learn about philanthropy, and leverage collective giving to support local women and children. Each year WUP awards grants to community organizations that serve women and children in our area.

✔ Lifestyle, ✔ Affordability and ✔ Community at
Lake Monticello BY CARLA HUCKABEE
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
D
on’t tell the folks out at Lake Monticello, but there’s a pandemic going on. You’re not supposed to be having a banner year in sales. According to Vicky Wilson, Principal Broker and Owner of Monticello Country Realtors, that’s exactly what’s happening. In 2020, sales are on track to beat previous years with 233 homes and another 22 lots sold prior to the end of September. So, what is it about Lake Monticello that attracts so much interest? When you talk to people who live there, three prevailing themes come up: lifestyle, affordability, and community.
By the Numbers Lake Monticello is a private waterfront community in Palmyra, Fluvanna County. Originally conceived of as a summer vacation home community in the late 1950s, it eventually took shape a decade later. Rumor has it that Hurricane Camille filled up the Lake, which was under-construction, overnight on August 19, 1969. In reality, it already
had 35-40 feet of water in it, and Camille just topped it off. After the community was established it evolved into a bedroom community of Charlottesville, only 13 miles away. The Lake’s 350 acres includes 22.5 miles of shoreline and the surrounding community takes full advantage of its natural assets. Community amenities include five beaches, one golf course, a marina, club house, pool, tennis courts, and a sports field complex. According to Lauren Marshall, Executive Assistant with Lake Monticello Owner’s Association (LMOA), there are a total of 4,604 lots with 4,286 houses completed, 511 of which are waterfront properties. A condominium complex adjacent to the marina includes 10 units, and there are 26 new homes currently under construction. More than 12,000 residents call Lake Monticello home. As Fluvanna County’s largest population center, Fluvanna allocates resources for the community appropriately. That ranges from offering programming in the community, like kayak lessons on the Lake, to bringing the right government entities to collabo-
rate. Their goal is for Lake Monticello to continue to be an asset and attract new residents to Fluvanna County.
Lifestyle All those 12,000 residents can’t be wrong. But what exactly do they see at Lake Monticello that continues to bring new residents into this already thriving community?
Diane Miller, Associate Broker with Long and Foster Realty – Lake Monticello, has lived at the Lake for 20 years and has helped people find their ideal lives there as a REALTOR® for more than 15 of them. She can’t overemphasize the impact that moving to a community like Lake Monticello has on the quality of people’s lives.

The golf course has also seen recent improvements. The new Fairway Clubhouse features a pro golf shop and full-service restaurant, The Pub. Steve Hurwitz, General Manager of LMOA, oversees operations for the Owner’s Association. “Our goal is to provide exceptional value so people can afford to live here and enjoy a resortstyle life. Homeowners have access to this wonderful environment with recreational activities for kids up through seniors of all interests and abilities. We have structured our membership fee to maximize value. Some of the fees, like the golf course and pool, are outside of the basic membership, using a pay-to-play model. That strategy allows us to offer so much and keeps things affordable.” The usual slate of country club activities—golf, tennis, and swimming—is only part of the package. The Lake, beaches, and natural areas play an outsized role in what attracts residents to Lake Mon-

“Even if the original residents were looking for vacation homes, it didn’t take long for Lake Monticello to evolve into a year-round community. There are a significant number of retirees here, but even that has changed in my 20 years here. More and more families and people of all ages recognize the wonderful lifestyle they can have here, all year long.” Len Toledo is one of those people. “I’ve lived here for about 20 years and enjoy it. I play doubles tennis and pickleball at the courts here. I occasionally play at our golf course, so I do take advantage of the many amenities. I also enjoy paddle boarding in our beautiful lake.” And lest you think he is a typical retiree that sees pickleball and golf as the ultimate challenge, Toledo is an avid cyclist and athlete rigorously training for the Ironman Triathlon Relay that will be held next August in Maine. “It is safer to ride my bike inside the gate, because of the 25-mph speed limit. And I swim in the outdoor pool during the summer, which is very convenient for my workouts.” The new pool was completed in time for the 2019 summer season and hosts

ticello. And the community values being good stewards. “We take good care of our green space,” says Hurwitz. “Not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because our members appreciate living among these wonderful natural settings. The Lake Monticello Golf Course is in the process of becoming a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. Community members are also working with the Natural Wildlife Federation to see that our natural reserves throughout the community meet their standards for sustainability and provide habitat for local wildlife.” “At Monticello Country REALTORS® our motto has always been ‘Vacation year-round at Lake Monticello’. In 2020, it seems even more relevant because of the pandemic. This year, being able to ‘Vacation at home year-round’ has made all the difference,” says Wilson, a 23-year resident of Lake Monticello. And that’s what continues to draw people to Lake Monticello.

Across nearly the entire spectrum of buyers, affordability plays a role. And Wilson knows it’s hard to beat Lake Monticello for value and affordability. “We are seeing first time homebuyers because of the low interest rates. Not only that, there’s a whole other group of people coming to the realization that they can afford a second home or vacation home at Lake Monticello in this financing environment.

ing communities. In addition to their own clubhouse on-site, buyers at Village Oaks and other area residents, can take advantage of many of the amenities at Lake Monticello by purchasing a Social Associate membership.
Part of a Community The top calling cards for Lake Monticello are resort-style living and affordability. But they are not the only draws. There’s a certain intangible value to being able to access a ready-made, engaged, and vibrant community. Many people moving to a new area take years to feel like they are part of a real community. Miller advises not to underestimate this impact. “It’s one of those things you can’t really put a direct value on. But it’s important and you can have it here in Lake Monticello. Even though everyone may come here for a different reason and at different stages in their lives, the structure here is welcoming and inclusive, but not overbearing. You can be as involved as you want to be.” Hurwitz adds, “Although 2020 has been a little different because of the pandemic, our Community Center is a major hub for all sorts of activities and groups. There are a huge number of social clubs and associations that function here for a wide variety of purposes. Some are purely social. Others are organized around specific interest groups and hobbies. If you can think of it, there’s probably a group here involved in that activity.” If moving to a new area that is affordable, feels like you’re on vacation
full-time, and provides you with the option of a ready-made community is appealing, Lake Monticello has to be on your short list. There aren’t many other communities in Virginia offering that combination; and even fewer that are close to significant population, educational, and cultural centers with everything Charlottesville has to offer. Toledo could be the spokesman for Lake Monticello. “We moved here because it is much more affordable than Charlottesville—the rest is all a bonus!” Different residents may say the same thing in different ways. But most agree with the sentiment that some mixture of lifestyle, affordability, and community were the big draws that convinced them to take a look at Lake Monticello. And when they did, they decided they wanted to be among the lucky ones, echoing Wilson’s motto to “Vacation year-round at Lake Monticello.” Carla Huckabee writes about health and high performing real estate.

buyers. Especially while interest rates remain so low. The problem is so few people want to leave once they move here!” Homes at Lake Monticello are mostly owner-occupied by full-time residents, but Wilson knows many of the current residents started by buying a second home near the Lake. “Quite a few buyers become acquainted with Lake Monticello by visiting friends or family and fall in love with the area. They end up buying a second home here to use on weekends. Eventually it gets harder to leave and some decide to retire early or work remotely using our high-speed internet so they can stay.” With today’s potential work-fromhome environment growing, places like Lake Monticello are likely to see even more demand. Hurwitz confirms that investors can buy a home and rent it out for a year or more. “Short-term rentals like Airbnb are not permitted, but people recognize our affordability and are interested in the investment value at Lake Monticello. These owners are able to take advantage of the long-term rental market.” If interested buyers can’t find what they want within the Lake Monticello gated community, there are other options just across the road. A new Ryan Homes development, Village Oaks, is under construction and selling fast. With more than 100 homesites, there are a few townhomes, but the vast majority are ranch style homes with garages in the $200 thousands and no yard work. It is one of the area’s fastest grow-
