Apartment List puts Charlottesville’s overall median rent at $1,488 a month in October 2026, down 4.6% on a year earlier. This is a short guide: I could not find current University of Virginia room rates.
Details come from Apartment List and UVA Housing and Residence Life, checked on 23 October 2026. UVA’s housing rates page showed a single first-year rate of $7,880 per academic year, but it was labelled 2024–25, so I have not treated it as current. Apartment List’s page gave only an overall median, which covers all unit types, not single rooms.

I have no verified one-bedroom or two-bedroom figure for Charlottesville. I have not ranked neighbourhoods or listed private blocks, because I could not verify prices or area details against reliable sources. View any room in person or on a live video call, get a written lease and never pay before you have one.
