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.

Former UVA basketball star part of redevelopment project at 1101 East Market Street

A former University of Virginia basketball player who also played in the National Basketball Association is part of a development team that seeks to build eleven townhouses in downtown Charlottesville.

“Just excited to be back in town and on about the progress with this project,” said Sean Singletary, who played for UVA in the mid 2000’s. “Ever since I graduated from school here, I’ve always wanted to move back here and just give back to the community. Charlottesville and UVA have done so much for me.”

A preliminary site plan has been filed with the city of Charlottesville to build several townhomes in the Little High subsection of the Martha Jefferson neighborhood [sic!] at the intersection of East Market and 11th Street.

In all, 11th Street Partners seeks to consolidate four lots into one before building ten townhomes. Several existing structures on those properties would be removed, but a house at 1103 East Market Street would remain as it is not part of this project and is owned separately.

As part of this plan, the house at 1101 East Market Street would be replaced with a new structure. [Read more…]

Another Snowstorm…

January 16, 2022

After the power outages throughout the area (including Meriwether Street for just under 48 hours) a couple of weeks ago, a lot of people are nervous about the storm that started late this morning. If anyone needs help shoveling their walk or sidewalk, please don’t hesitate to contact the Neighborhood Association for help. We will do our best to either do it ourselves or find a volunteer (and, of course, anyone who would like to help shovel out neighbors but doesn’t know where to start is welcome to contact us). More importantly, if all or a portion of the neighborhood loses power and anyone needs a warm place to go, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the neighborhood association for help. Some houses stay warmer than others even in a power outage and we will do our best to find shelter for anyone in need.
