I currently live in Charlottesville and would recommend against it. Its general infrastructure is crumbling. Sidewalks and bike paths, while they exist (barely), are neglected. The city government just bought a parking lot, for example, when there is already ample parking [1]. And yes, it's very expensive relative to what you get. I'm fortunate that I can bike to work because I live in town, but > 90% of my co-workers have to commute (by car; there's not much of a shuttle/bus system outside of UVA/CVille proper) because they can't afford to live here.
