About
Fifeville
Fifeville, located between Downtown Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, is a historic and residential Charlottesville neighborhood with a walkable street grid and a rail-side edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 5th Street SW and W Main Street corridor, where coffee counters, small eateries, and storefronts meet steady foot traffic. The IX Art Park and its Saturday IX Farmers Market act as a creative anchor for the area. The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center adds a strong cultural throughline nearby. Housing leans toward early-20th-century cottages and porches, with newer infill along key corridors. Side streets feel quieter, while the Downtown Mall and UVA grounds sit just beyond the neighborhood’s borders.
