Neighborhood 2, the second largest of the Northern Development Areas, consists of 2,981 acres and is generally located to the east of US 29. The meandering Rivanna River forms the eastern and northern borders of the neighborhood, with the City of Charlottesville serving as the southern border. The draft Places29 Master Plan describes Neighborhood 2 as "predominantly residential" with the single-family neighborhoods of Dunlora, Raintree, Westmoreland, Woodbrook, and Carrsbrook[1]. To the east of the railroad tracks are more dense residential uses, with apartment complexes such as Stonehenge and Riverrun. The Belevedere neighborhood is being built in this area.

A small strip of gas stations and other commercial properties along Rio Road is known as Gasoline Alley, and is considered to be a future neighborhood center under the Places29 Master Plan.
