This isn’t just a blog—it’s a front porch for Crozet.
We’re here to share stories, answer questions, and help you feel at home in this corner of the Blue Ridge.
Crozet is growing fast. Between new breweries, trail expansions, and school debates, it’s hard to keep up—especially if you’re new here. Zillow won’t tell you why locals love the Crozet Mudhouse, and Google Maps won’t warn you about the best shortcuts when 250 gets backed up.
We cut through the noise. Real Crozet VA is your go-to for:
-
Real estate insights (without the sales pitch).
-
Hyperlocal news (think: Claudius Crozet Park updates, not just national headlines).
-
Community connections (meet the teachers, farmers, and makers who define this place).

About Jim Duncan
I am a Realtor/Broker/Partner with Nest Realty in Charlottesville, Virginia. The goal of this site/blog remains unchanged in the nearly 18 years since its founding – to provide clear, coherent, unbiased analysis of the Charlottesville area real estate market.

We’re not just observers—we’re your neighbors. Here’s how we operate:
-
No fluff: Straight talk about schools, taxes, and home values.
-
No gatekeeping: We’ll tell you which trivia night has the best crowds (or the weakest competition).
-
No agendas: Just honest conversations about where Crozet’s been and where it’s headed.
Got a question? A tip? A strong opinion about the new roundabout?
Drop us a line—we’re all ears.
