About Jefferson Commons
Welcome to Jefferson Commons, a premier off-grounds housing community for University of Virginia students, conveniently located along Jefferson Park Avenue in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia. Whether you're an undergraduate Wahoo making your first move off Grounds, a graduate student in the Engineering School, or a medical or health sciences student at UVA Health, Jefferson Commons delivers a comfortable, all-inclusive living experience that keeps you close to everything you need academically and personally.
THE APARTMENTS
Jefferson Commons offers one bedroom and four bedroom floor plans, each thoughtfully designed with the UVA student in mind. The one bedroom apartments range around 600 square feet and are especially popular for their all-inclusive rental packages. A rare and highly appreciated feature that takes the guesswork out of monthly budgeting. The four bedroom layouts stretch up to approximately 1,200 square feet, providing ample space for group living while maintaining the kind of privacy and comfort that makes coming home feel genuinely relaxing.
Every apartment at Jefferson Commons features hardwood floors throughout the living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, private bathrooms, and in-unit washer and dryer connections. Select units feature private balconies or patios, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after a long day of lectures and labs. The rental package covers internet and trash removal, simplifying the administrative side of student life so you can put your energy where it matters most. The community is professionally managed, and the on-site staff (frequently praised by residents for being friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful) is always available to assist with questions, maintenance requests, and anything else that comes up.
COMMUNITY AMENITIES
Jefferson Commons is built around the idea that great student housing supports both academic ambition and personal wellbeing. The resort-style swimming pool and hot tub are standout community features, perfect for decompressing between study sessions or spending a warm Charlottesville afternoon with neighbors and friends. The state-of-the-art fitness center is designed for a full range of workouts, from cardio sessions before early classes to strength training in the evenings, available to all residents.
The business center and study rooms round out the academic support amenities, providing quiet, focused spaces that complement the library and make group project work easy to coordinate without leaving home. The community clubhouse serves as a social hub, regularly hosting resident events that foster the kind of connections that make off-Grounds living feel like more than just a place to sleep. The well-maintained grounds are a point of pride for both residents and staff alike, giving the community a polished, welcoming feel from the moment you walk in.
Jefferson Commons is pet-friendly, and with a UVA bus shuttle stop conveniently nearby, residents don't even need a car to stay fully connected to campus and the broader Charlottesville community. Parking is also available on-site for residents who do have vehicles.
LOCATION
Jefferson Commons is located at 1620 Jefferson Park Avenue in Charlottesville, placing residents less than a mile from the main UVA Grounds and just 0.6 miles from UVA Medical Center. The Engineering School is also convenient from this address, making Jefferson Commons a natural fit for all students, no matter their major.
The Jefferson Park Avenue neighborhood is a walkable, academically engaged community right on the periphery of UVA, with easy access to the Corner for dining, coffee, and entertainment, and the Charlottesville Amtrak Station in Downtown for travel. Local favorites like the Oakhurst Inn Café and Espresso Bar are just around the corner, and parks and green space are within easy walking distance.
For UVA students who want an all-inclusive, well-located, amenity-rich home with a friendly and professional management team, and the unbeatable convenience of being minutes from both Grounds and the Medical Center, Jefferson Commons is an exceptional choice.

great location to grounds, terrible everything else
February 21, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
The location of the apartment is great for commuting daily to grounds but there is nothing else good about it especially for the high price. It is super loud often at night with parties which is fine for weekends but it happens a lot on weeknights and I have to wake up early for class but can't sleep ever. The management is terrible at responding to any issues, I have been overcharged fees every month but when I call with issues I am told to use the portal for results and then all my messages ...
through the portal have been ignored. Black mold growing in the bathroom, appliances are broken and despite multiple maintenance requests, no one ever comes to fix anything. They also took away recycling cans at some point last year, there are only places for trash so I guess environmental concerns aren't a part of the apartments values.

Great option if you want to be close to everything at UVA
April 12, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
The location is great because it's a convenient location for undergrads and grads. The shuttle stop is nearby and it's a walking distance to most places around UVA. The fact that the 1x1 is all-inclusive is very convenient.
