BROOKWOOD IS ONE OF THOSE GREAT places in Charlottesville that is close to everywhere you want to be. Located off Fifth Street in the City of Charlottesville, this Southern Development community is just one short mile away from the historic Downtown Mall, the UVA Hospital and Interstate 64.
This exciting new community broke ground in May 2006 with the construction of 17 luxury town homes and the completion of the community main
entrance and connector road, Brookwood Drive,
directly off Fifth Street. This entrance provides
Brookwood residents with easy, quick access in and
out of the neighborhood.
“Brookwood is a great location,” stated Hillary
Losacano, the sales manager of the Brookwood
community. “It is ‘just around the corner’
from everything in Charlottesville.
You are still right downtown but
the community still feels very private because it
backs directly to the Rivanna Trail, Rock Creek
and its surrounding woods.”
Now with building almost completed on the
town homes and only two units remaining for sale,
Southern Development Homes has also started
construction on the first of its thirty-one
single family homes in the second phase
at Brookwood. These detached singlefamily
homes all include one car
garages, large unfinished basements
which offer expansive additional square
footage, high efficiency natural gas Dual Zone
heating and cooling, and the high quality
construction that Southern Development Homes
is known for. Interior upgrades like 9-foot ceilings
on the main level, structured wiring, hardwood
stairs, designer lighting fixtures, brushed nickel
door handles, finish-in-place hard wood
entry and two-tone paint interiors are
standard features in the Brookwood
community.
The first of the single family homes, the
charming Newport model, offers 1,667 finished
square feet with three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and a
traditional covered front porch. The Newport
represents functional open living space and an
excellent value at $349,900.
Priced at $374,900, The Chelsea is a 3 bedroom,
2 1/2-bath design with 2,178 finished square feet.
The home features an extremely large master suite
with a private balcony and an included bonus
room, which creates the added space of a study or
4th bedroom on the third level.
The Berkley is the largest and most popular
single family home thus far at Brookwood with
2,358 finished square feet, over an unfinished 938
square foot basement. This well laid out plan
boasts a much sought after first floor master suite,
with an additional 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths
upstairs. The Berkley model is exceptionally
priced at $399,900.
“One of the biggest advantages in dealing with
Southern Development Homes is that we come
from a custom home building background,” Hillary
remarked. “Superior products go into all of our
homes, plus we can customize our product to the
needs of our homeowners. Not just with the interior
and exterior selections but even the floor plans to
some degree.”
Southern Development Homes is hosting a
Grand Opening for the general public to celebrate
their new single-family model home on Saturday
and Sunday, August 25 and 26 from 11 AM till 5
PM. The affair located in their new Berkley model
home at 196 Brookwood Drive, will be catered by
Bonefish Grill and feature a live broadcast by 106.1
The Corner radio station (Saturday 11am–2pm) as
well as many giveaways and various gift certificates
awarded to visitors.
“We want everyone to come
out, enjoy some lunch, and tour our homes as well
as this great community,” Hillary emphasized. “We
want them to see the high quality of construction in
each home and discover the convenience of a
Brookwood lifestyle.”
To see all that is going on in the Brookwood
community first hand; from Charlottesville, take
5th Street (towards I-64) to a left turn onto
Brookwood Drive. For more information about the
Grand Opening this weekend, or for an
appointment to visit the community, please call

Southern Development Homes, at 434-245-2238.
