Sunrise

At Sunrise Park, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville successfully pioneered the concept of trailer park transformation without resident displacement. The resulting 70 unit mixed-income neighborhood features 32 Habitat homes in addition to market rate homes built by Southern Development. The last Habitat home was completed in 2014. Neighborhood amenities include a neighborhood center with a commercial kitchen, yoga room and shared patio; two large common green spaces; and environmentally friendly features such as pervious paving and underground cisterns for capturing stormwater. Sunrise is situated next door to Big Brother Big Sisters and is within walking distance of downtown Belmont and the Rivanna River.
