OUR STORY

More Than a Landlord.

CBS Rentals was founded in 1972 by Charlottesville residents who believed renters deserved better than generic off-the-shelf housing. Over 50 years later, we're still family-run, still community-first, and still providing the most eclectic mix of boutique apartments and historic homes in Charlottesville's most walkable neighborhoods.

From Historic Wertland Street to Rugby Road to Jefferson Park Avenue — our properties carry the character of Charlottesville's most beloved neighborhoods. We welcome all qualified applicants and house approximately 1,200 residents each year.

RESIDENT STORIES

Hear From Our Residents.

"I've lived in three CBS properties over four years. Every apartment has been well-maintained, and the team actually responds when something needs fixing. Way better than the big corporate landlords."

Marcus T.

Long-term resident · Rugby Road

"As a parent, I was nervous about my daughter's first apartment. CBS made the whole process easy — clear lease, responsive staff, and a safe neighborhood. She's renewed for a second year."

Linda P.

Parent of a CBS resident · JPA neighborhood

"The historic character of the Wertland Street house is unreal. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, a real front porch — and still only a 5-minute walk to where I need to be. I didn't know this existed."

Priya N.

CBS resident · Wertland Street
