Information for and about the Little High Neighborhood in Charlottesville, VA

Little High Neighborhood News

The Little High Neighborhood in Charlottesville, Va
The Little High Neighborhood was originally formed in the early aughts, just before the area between East Market Street and East Water Street / Carlton Road had more than a handful of residential units. Institutional memory not being a strong suit of volunteer run organizations generally, subsequent LHNA boards were unaware of the need to adapt to the rapid growth of the area so it wasn't officially incorporated in the neighborhood until 2023.
