This four to seven-lane thoroughfare has a little of everything. Residents and area shoppers drive into Pantops for the two major grocery stores, numerous retail shops, the Martha Jefferson Hospital and associated health providers, and an extensive network of services.
As the original main path from Rich mond to the Shenandoah Valley, Three Notch’d Road slowly evolved into the current Route 250, still called Richmond Road. In 1933 state highway officials an nounced a plan to build the Free Bridge across the Rivanna River. Nearly a cen tury later, it’s still the only bridge, and often cursed by the more than 50,000 drivers who traverse it daily.
Car shoppers in the Charlottesville area know to check out the deals on “Dealership Row” in Pantops. They can test drive everything from the latest Porsche or Audi to the haggle-free bar gains on a used car at CarMax.
Richmond Road became the natural route commercial and retail enterprises used to enter and leave Charlottesville. And it still is.
Restaurants and coffee shops abound along Richmond Road. Grit Coffee, Mar co’s Pizza, Mi Casita Salvadoran Restau rant, and The Lazy Parrot BBQ join the typical array of Starbucks, Applebee’s, and Chik-fil-A. Tip Top, the ever-popular 50s-style diner, still won’t spill the beans on what days their famous meatloaf is

The area has seen significant invest ment in the past couple of years as one of Albemarle County’s top growth areas. Two brand new subdivisions joined near ly a dozen other Pantops neighborhoods.

Pantops:
The area has its share of traffic and congestion problems. But when these are resolved, Pantops will become even more in demand than it is now. Fortunately, there is evidence things are moving in the right direction.
S
The vacated campus is now home to Bonumose after a $27 million investment converted it into a production facility for tagatose, a low-glycemic, affordable, rare sugar that doesn’t promote tooth decay.
One county employee describes driv ing in Pantops as bad, adding, “And I hope you don’t plan to walk or bike anywhere.”PaulMcArtor, REALTOR® with Av enue Realty, agrees. “The biggest draw to Pantops is being so close to the city. And the biggest drawback to Pantops is traffic.”Butvaliant efforts are underway to improve. In response to the traffic con
The other end of 250 faces similar problems and backups with cars turning left across traffic to access I-64.
UVA alum and Bonumose Chief Exec utive Officer and Co-Founder Ed Rogers says, “We will start tagatose production at the Charlottesville area facility in 2022, but I do not want to get any more specific than that.” Don’t expect the backlog of quitting time traffic to return to State Farm Boulevard, as Bonumose will only have 65 employees at the new produc tion facility.
Last year the Thomas Jefferson Plan ning District Commission graded Free Bridge performance as F, reporting, “… there are currently 53,000 vehicles per day on Free Bridge which has resulted in an overall level of service of F. Modeling has shown that by 2040, approximately 70,000 vehicles a day will be using the bridge, making the already failing level of service 25 percent worse.”
F is for Failing
Pantops’ reputation as one giant traf fic jam is not entirely undeserved. The nearly two-mile stretch of Route 250 from the I-64 interchange to Free Bridge can be solid traffic depending on the time of day.
“And depending on where you live in Pantops, it will eventually be an easy bike ride or walk into Charlottesville over the Rivanna River.” The county has applied for funds to build a pedestrian bridge to cross the Rivanna to East Market Street near the historic Woolen Mills development.ChrisGensic, Charlottesville’s Parks and Trails Planner, says, “In Pantops, you’re only a couple of miles from the Downtown Mall and there’s no safe way to bike into Charlottesville. This bridge
will open up safe routes for people that today don’t have much choice but to drive a McArtorcar.” warns, “Don’t line up to be the first to bike across the pedestrian bridge just yet. But this is worth paying attention to if you’re considering buying in Pantops.”Afterapedestrian death each of the past two years on Route 250, new pe destrian crossings at Rolkin Road and Stony Point Road are in the works to give walkers two more options to cross the busy highway.
gestion, VDOT is reengineering the I-64 Route 250 intersection into a diverging diamond design. Cars will be able to turn left onto and off I-64 ramps without stopping or crossing opposing lanes of traffic. This will give the intersec tion twice the capacity of the current configuration.Meanwhile,efforts to ease the load on Free Bridge include promoting alterna tive routes and getting people out of their cars. It’s an uphill battle, but not impossible.McArtor says “Pantops can work sur prisingly well for anyone who needs to get to 29 North. Skip Free Bridge and head out Stony Point Road to get to Target, the airport, UVA Research Park, and all the businesses north of town.

Carla Huckabee writes about high-performing real estate.
Through the 1990’s and 2000’s, more new neighborhoods sprouted north of 250—Wilton Farm, Avemore, Fontana, and Hyland Ridge, and more recently, Cascadia and Riverside Village. Half-acre sites and rolling terrain are commonplace in the earlier neighborhoods with more density in Cascadia and Riverside Village.
Cascadia is the largest of the develop ments, with 330 homes on 60 acres. It includes a mix of single-family, villas, and townhomes with rooftop decks.

McArtor notes, “Avemore, Fontana, and Cascadia all have swimming pools. But Cascadia is one of the few new devel opments with a pool. Located at the top of the hill, patrons can enjoy the views while lounging in the pool.”
There are usually several Pavilions townhomes and Carriage Hill condos on the market. Listings in other predomi nantly single-family home communities are less frequent. REALTOR® Pat Ran nigan, with Howard Hanna Roy Wheeler Realty Co. recently listed a townhome in Pavilions at Pantops, and it was one of only three available. Prices ranged from $388,000 to $449,990.
along the Rivanna River, the first mile of the 2.7-mile Old Mills Trail is paved, making it a great destination for anyone with a stroller, wheelchair, bike, or skates. Another 10acre county park is preserved as a natural area adjacent to Riverside Village and is a haven for bird watchers.

Its proximity to Charlottesville makes Pantops a top draw. The panoramic views, the convenience of close by and abundant restaurant, retail, and other services, a nearby top-notch hospital, the Rivanna River and greenway, and distinc tive residential communities make it a hard package to beat. No matter what style of living you seek, you can find it in Pantops. The only question is whether it’s for Onesale.thing you can be sure of, the Pantops you see today won’t be the Pan tops of tomorrow. With all the posi tive changes currently in the works and planned for the future, count on Pantops to keep getting better and better.
Old Mills Trail spans the length of Pantops along the river, past the Martha Jefferson Hospital complex and beyond I-64, connecting with a trail to Milton Landing near Shadwell. This offers a convenient six-mile paddle/hike option from Darden Towe to Milton Landing.

H is for Home
The Pavilions at Pantops is a town home community north of 250 with a variety of floor plans and designs and large maintenance-free lots. Residents enjoy lawn care and landscaping yearround plus seven playgrounds, basket ball, and tennis courts.
There are as many reasons to be close to Charlottesville as there are people wanting to call Pantops home. Resi dential options range from apartments and condos to 7,000-square-foot luxury homes on multi-acre wooded sites.
At the same time, Cascadia had only one home for sale (a townhome for $619,000). Riverside Village and Hyland Ridge had none while Key West had one.
As Albemarle County continues to accomplish the goals outlined in the Pantops Master Plan, the area will only improve.
Riverside Village is adjacent to Darden Towe Park and fronts the Rivanna River. This compact village includes 45 homes, some with one-bedroom apartments over the garages, and ground floor apartments in some townhouse units, along with a separate building of 24 condomini ums. Prominent walkways, porches on craftsman-style homes and villas bring together a unique diversity of buyers andAtrenters.theentrance to the village, The Shops at Riverside Village has 34 apart ments upstairs and a Grit Coffee, AKT Fitness, and River Birch Restaurant on the ground floor.

If your first thought of Pantops is pavement and strip malls, you haven’t ventured very far from Route 250.
