Ranked as one of the top places to live in the United States, Charlottesville has many cultural, historical, and fun activities for visitors to explore. The rolling mountains of the Blue Ridge serve as a scenic backdrop to the city. In the Fall the trees are vibrant and boast many colors, while in the Spring the flowers and blossoms dominate the landscape. Charlottesville is also a college town since it's the home of the University of Virginia.
