The Southwood Mobile Home Park is located off of Fifth Street Extended in Albemarle County. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville is redeveloping the property as a mixed-use community in a way that intends to not displace existing residents. [1] [2]

Redevelopment

Habitat for Humanity purchased the property in 2007 with the intent of redeveloping the park with at least 500 affordable housing units. [3]

Construction broke ground on September 18, 2020. [4]

One aspect of a redeveloped Southwood could be an enhanced network of trails to allow bike and pedestrian access to the future Biscuit Run State Park. [5]

Supervisors endorsed a plan to work with Habitat on the project in October 2016. [6]

The Boys and Girls Club has a facility there that has been expanded in 2017. [7]

The rezoning was conducted in two phases. The first will consist of two blocks, one of which will be mixed-use and the other will be mostly commercial. This first phase has been submitted to Albemarle County for review. [8]

Phase 1: Requested the rezoning of three contiguous properties on 33.96 acres from R-2 and NMD to Neighborhood Model District (NMD). With a maximum of 450 residential units and a "focus on providing a model for reinvesting in aging suburban neighborhoods, the community-generated design principles presented in this zoning map amendment will create a mixed-income, mixed-use community catalyzing the non-displacement and realization of secure tenure of the community that exists today."[9]
