Ballentine Place is a historic area 4 miles from downtown Norfolk
Step into history at Ballentine Place, a historic neighborhood in the center of Norfolk, Virginia. The Ballentine Place Historic District dates to the early 20th century and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Located at the end point of the Lafayette River, the neighborhood was constructed by The Ballentine Realty Corporation in 1909 as a planned suburb designed to cater to the needs of the growing middle and working-class families.
During the early 20th century, the construction of commuter railroads and the demand for naval workers led to the rapid growth of Ballantine Place. The advent of the streetcar line in 1900 provided easy access to downtown Norfolk from the city’s outskirts, opening the doors to suburban development. Today, Ballentine Place is “an older, established neighborhood with a centralized location,” says Deanna Jones with Own Real Estate.
Historic houses with narrow lots starting at $200,000
As you wander through the neighborhood, you’ll find various home styles that define Ballentine Place, including American Foursquares, Colonials, Craftsman-style homes and even pre-fabricated kit houses. Remodeled and newly built traditional homes and bungalows are dotted among these historic homes. Long and narrow lots with a centralized open green space and street parking create a charming layout that adds to the neighborhood’s appeal. Homes range from as affordable as $200,000 for a two-bedroom cottage to up to $300,000 for a renovated three-bedroom, two-bath house.
STEM-based curriculum and health specialization at Maury High
Families residing in Ballentine Place have access to schools that satellite the neighborhood, including Coleman Place Elementary, which opened its doors in 1925 and Richard Bowling Elementary, established in 1953. Azalea Gardens Middle School students participate in after-school sports through its football, volleyball and softball teams. Brimming with history, Maury High School is the oldest high school in Norfolk and hosts the Medical and Health Specialties Program, in which students can apply to be a part of a rigorous, STEM-based curriculum. Norfolk State University is a mile away.
Ballentine Bark Park, local playground with exercise equipment
When it’s time to enjoy the outdoors, the Ballentine Bark Park — sometimes called Tait Terrace Dog Park online — is where you can bring your furry friends along and let them socialize and run around. The Ballentine Park Playground & Fitness is in the heart of the neighborhood with a pond and open green space where you’ll find the kids hanging out and neighbors staying active on the exercise equipment.
Local eateries and essentials on Ingleside Road
For your everyday needs, you’ll find the Neighborhood Walmart conveniently located on East Princess Anne Road, adjacent to Wawa, ensuring that your grocery shopping is just a stone’s throw away. Explore the neighborhood and savor the flavors of the community, whether you’re craving Southern comfort food or seafood delicacies. Jesse’s Place is dishing out no-frills breakfast and New York-style hotdogs, while T’s Seafood is the spot for fresh softshell crabs.
Ballentine Place’s centralized location grants residents access to everything the city has to offer. For a vibrant nightlife and access to local eateries and annual festivals, including Harbor Fest, downtown Norfolk is a bustling district 4 miles away.
