Historic Norfolk community with walkable amenities
Park Place is an urban residential neighborhood just 2 miles north of downtown Norfolk. The community was added to the US National Register of Historic Places in 2006 because of its unique 20th-century architecture. After Norfolk’s first planned streetcar suburb was a success, the city quickly acquired more land and furthered development in the north end. Since its creation and development in 1896, Park Place has predominantly been a working-class populated neighborhood.
