Construction is slow right now in Cville - even the commerical at places like UVA. there are many homes that could be, and the money for places to be redone.....but its slow everywhere.
I came from DC, and although you have the professor/doctor/lawyer types (most small upper scale college towns do) there is also a lot of middle class folks and blue collared types....and everything in between...
I think folks look for what they want and see it...I looked for a quiet community, with good schools and low crime, but still had a bunch to offer....Cville has that.... For every Volvo driving wanna be, there's a farmer worth millions in a old Chevy truck...
If you live IN town, I'm guessing you'd get more exposed to the "liberal" side with the college, and the folks living there...if you live in the out skirts (which can be as little as 5-10 miutes...or up to 40 if you want a farmette) but work in town, you get both !!
there's actors, athletes and muscian's that frequate the areas, right next to the plumbers and the students.....don't be fooled, there's some wealth here, but there's also a simple and high quality of life also...IMO
