Web Sites Offer Lifestyle-Oriented Home Searches via NYTimes.com
Homebuyers often embark on their home search armed with a vision of their ideal property, a laundry list of features they'd love to find or can't live without.
Several bedrooms. Large kitchens. A yard big enough for a garden. But what if you prize home traits that extend beyond property lines? Good schools, ethnic restaurants or grocery stores a mere stroll away?
Divining this from the address on a home listing can be difficult, especially if you are moving to a new city. Fortunately, many Web sites are incorporating ways for users to pinpoint the neighborhoods and properties that might best suit their home needs and lifestyles.

The New York Times has picked up on something Nest's Jim Duncan has been talking about for 2+ years: walkability. Jim's site Real Central VA features a search which includes a Walkscore index and the Nest Realty Group site features a great Charlottesville/Albemarle Neighborhood Guide if you want to focus on lifestyle.

Nest Realty Group presents Tom's Garden: we promote & fund community gardening in Charlottesville and the surrounding area.
The team at Nest Realty Group has been working for months on an exciting project to support community gardening in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area, which we call Tom's Garden. Our website went live a few days ago: I hope you take a look and let us know what you think! We are pretty stoked about Tom's Garden and look forward to this initiative bearing fruit...or vegetables, as the case may be!

Please express your gratitude...
...to the Charlottesville and Albemarle Fire Departments, Police, all local Rescue Squad Personnel and everyone who keeps our two ER's running.
Today I saw two fire trucks and two ambulances speeding along the bypass to yet another road accident. I've been out of the house four times since the "big storm" and on each occasion, I have seen multiple incidents with police, fire and rescue people hard at work handling mishap and tragedy at the roadsides of our community. They have been tireless in their devotion. This was an extraordinary weather event and these are extraordinary citizens. Please remember to thank them and if you can, to give to the local volunteer fire and rescue squads who rely on our funds for support.
Stay safe in the ice tomorrow and Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!
