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.

Inspired by input from Park Place’s youngsters, the playground won the award for “Best New Renovation/Addition to a Park” at the 64th annual Virginia Recreation and Park Society Conference in 2019. Munson Park’s ropes-based play course, accessible swings and walking paths make it a popular gathering place at the center of the neighborhood. The Virginia Zoo, home to more than 700 animals and 150 different species, is just across Granby Street on the banks of the Lafayette River. On a quiet day, residents may be able to hear the tigers all the way from Llewellyn Avenue. Lafayette Park is under a mile from the neighborhood, next to the Virginia Zoo. The picnic shelters and public restrooms available make the park a great place to hold events, from community-wide fundraisers to birthday parties.
