Albemarle magazine serves one of our nation’s most exceptional and richly endowed communities-one, which is widely known, as the home of the affluent and famous. Endowments, both natural and man-made, are what make this historic area the residence of choice for so many successful people in diverse professions-from business, finance and communications to art, entertainment and sports. They all share a common interest: a strong dedication to this area. Centrally located, the Charlottesville-Albemarle region's natural beauty and mild climate make it a most desirable place to live and do business. The town and surrounding county have become identified with the values of Thomas Jefferson, whose legacy of leadership and citizen participation has helped the area grow and prosper.
