8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This is the best residential section in Norfelk. A level area approxinately 7CY/o
built up. It is park like in general appearan.ce. Many of the streets are winding•and attractive, but all are poorly lighted, which is a connnon fault in all
Norfolk neighbcrheods. The eentral poFtion of the area, known as Glenoove, is
the principal scene of present construetion activity. A special assessment has
been agreed upen for this area in oonsiderntion of street imprevements, which will
expire in 1946. All construction is sound o.nd the pepulo.tion is stable, with
excellent pride of home ownership evident in the maintenance of lawns and shrubbery. Hampton Boulovnrd, through the oonter of the nroa, is n thoroughfo.ro to
the Nnvo.1 Opera.ting Bnso and tho Nowport Nows forry. Thoro aro sovoro.l apartment
houses on this stroot, of throo a.nd four room suitos ronting £~om $45 to e50 per
unit per month, and o. street ear lino which takos about 25 minutos to devmtown
Norfolk. Tho aroa is oool in sUlllJIX)r booauso of provo.iling winds from tho southwost. The Norfolk Country Club and tonni~ courts r.re looo.ted within tho aroo., o.nd

8. DESCR!IPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This is a level area. appro.x:imately 25% developed. The houses are of standard
construction, set back from the streets with lawns and shrubbery in good condition
indicating pride of home ownership. There are many pine trees threughel:lt the
neighborhood and the principal through street is parklike in appearance. A special
assessment ho.s been a.greed upon in consideraticm of street improvements., which will
expire in 1943. Transportation is available by street oar on Granby Street, approxin:ntely 35 minutes to downtown Norfolk. The devel@pers of this addition admit
a lack of demand for the houses beonuso it is comparatively remote and adjncont to
vecy ml:lch poeror neighborhoods a.t Ocean Viow. These £acts havo resultod in sales
resistance and now construction is not now notivo. Therefore the neighborhood
does not warrnnt the best classification. Thoro is n public golf oel:lrso adjacent
to tho seuth.

residei;rtial neighbomoods in Nor£olk. There is a poor approaoh to the area,
however# and practioally no new construction has taken place in recent years~
al though it is approximately only 50% developed. Most 0£ the shere front has
been occupied and the area has probably :reached the pea.k of its desirability.
Schools, churches and neighborhood stores are oonsidored to be eonvenient.
Street ca.r trnnsportntion is O.\Vailnble on Ihmpton Blvd. approximo.toly ono-ho.1£
mile distant, and tlll<:es about 25 minutes to downtown Norfolk. The area is cool
in sUlllJllf)r boeause of prevailing winds from tho southwost. Tho population is
stablo and evidences good prido of home o,mership in tho ma.infunll.lloe of lawn.a,
gardens a.rd shrubbery. Thoro is practically no throu{Sh traffic. Titustown (D-1)
o.djo.ccp.t to tho north is not detrim:>:atP.l booo.usc of the spo.rsoly settled area.

8. DESCRimON AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This area (inoluding Edgewo.ter o.:nd Morningside) is level, nnd npproxima.tely 50%
built up. It is fo.irly well developed in its enstern portion nround Hampton
Blvd., vm.ioh is a. thoroughfare to the Nnvnl Opera.ting Bnse nnd the Newport News
ferry. The extreme western portion is now sparsely settled, although there o.re
a number of large old houses o.nd estntes a.long the water front. Tra.ns:F)ortc.tion
is nvailnble by street oar and bus a.pproxilnAtely 20 minutes to down town Norfolk.
Schools, churches a.nd neighborhood stores a.re convenient. Existing oonstruotion
is sound and the population is stnblo. Pra.otioo.lly all of the wnter front, whioh
bordors three sides of tho nron, is desirnblo. Stroots nro ho.rd surfaood but
poorly lighted, which is n common fa.ult with nll Norfolk neighborhoods. There
is a. U.S. Govornmont hospital a.t tho northern ond of Hnmpton Blvd. a.nd a.t tho
southern. boundary thoro is a. nov, apo.rtmen.t group containing 172 units a.nd !renting
for npproximo.toly $15.00 por ·room por month, although. sow l:lllits o.re rentod
:i'urnishod at n highor f'iguro. Tho Norfolk branch of William and Mal"y Collogo

parts of tho aroa aro subject ton special assossmont whioh has boon a.grood upon
in consideration of stroot improvements, o.nd will oxpiro in 1944. Although a
fow now housos aro boing built in various po.rts of tho area; it hns generally

8. DESORIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
The portion of -this area known as Belvedere lies south of Afton st. and is 100%
built up. The upper portion., about 400/4 built up, is known·as Ellsworth and
Cromwell. While Belvoclere has a very desirable appearance, it is unworthy of
the best classifieation £or the reason that most of the houses have been built
with very low foundations with insufficie:nt ventila.tion to dry out foundation
timbers, whioh gives rise to possible difficulties from dampness and teili'Jllites.
The resulting sales resista.nee has caused the developers to offer the houses
either for salo or for rent furnished or unfurnished o.nd this has nttro.cted such
people as those temporarily utto.ched to the No.vnl Opera.ting Ba.so o.nd other
transfont fhmilies., so tha.t tho population is oomparotivoly unstable. A somewho.t better clo.ss of construction prevails in Cromwell a.nd Ellsworth. Tho
development is well plo.nnod., parklike in o.ppearo.nce o.nd attra.ctivoly lo.ndsco.pod.
Most stroots o.ro winding nnd th0r0 aro £ow sidownlks. Tho stroots o.ro poorly
lighted., a. fuult common in a.11 Norfolk neiigiborhoods. No sowers have beon
insto.llod, but the o.roa has o.11 othor city fucilitios. Lots aro ample in sizo
mnny being 75 by 150 foot., nnd tho vro.torfront sitos a.ro tho most dosirablo.
.,
Schools., churches o.nd neighborhood stores aro convoniont., o.m 20 minute transportation to downtown Norfolk is availo.blo on Granby Street.

~
40% built up with high class residences of substantial
oonstruction on good sized lots. Water front sites are the mest desir~ble • . A
bridge at Willow Wood Brive cenneets the area with Belvedere (B-7), .fi-emwhich
point 20 minute transportation by street ear is afforded t0 downt0wn Norfolk •.
Willow Wood Drive is the only through street and there is little through traffic
in the area. All city facilities are available except gas. Streets are in good
oondition but poorly lighted, a fault cOOllllOn with all Norfolk neighb0rhoods • .
There is good pride ·of home owrership evidenced in the maintenance of lawns and
shr"1bbery and the population is stable. The area adjaoent to·the east, kn0Wn
as Lakehurst, .is low,. unimproved and not desirable.• It is unlikely that new
oonstruotion of a conforming type w.i.11 proceed eastward and therefore Lakewood
has reached the peak of its desirability. While it will continue to be an attraotive neighborhood ~or several ~ars to come, it is not now worthy of the best

8. DESCRIYTION AND 'CHARACFERISTICS OF AREA:
This is a well established neighborh0oi approximately 90% developed. Construetion is sound and the population stable. Schools, churches and neighborhood
stores are convenient and ten minute bus transportation is afforded to downtown
Norfolk. Houses are well spaced and landscaped. Streets are in good condit~on
but poorly lighted, a fault common with all Norfolk neighborhoods. There are a
nwnber of shade trees and the area as a whole has charm and a:ppeal. The peak of
growth has been reached, however, and while the neighborhood will be still
desirable for many years to come, it is unworthy of the l:lighest grade. Railroad
terminals and a switching yard to the southwe,s t are detrimental infl~ences beca~se
of noise. Similar disturbances arise from railroad tra.eks on 23rd St. to the
north, which carry coa.l to the loo.ding docks nt lLa.mbert's Point (Area D-3). A
small pa.rt of this area is subject to a. special assessment which has been a.greed
upon in consideration of street improvements, but it will expire in 1942.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This is a long narrow strip of land at the northern extremity of Norfolk, apprexi~
mately 50% built up. Ooean View Ave. is the prinoipal thoro'lllghfare and leaas to
the Old Point Comfort ferry-. Occupancy and the demand for rental uni ts i. s very
mueh improved in summer months.. 35 minute transportatien is afforded by street
car to d0'Wtlt0wn Norfolk. Few streets ether than the principal thoroughfare a,r e
paved and all are poorly lighted, a .fault common with all Norfelk neighberhoeds.•
Many of the structures on Ocean View Ave.• are small hotels and sunnner boarding
houses. The terrain is higher toward the western end but at the narrowest po.ili.t
toward the ea.st it is low and flooded o.t times when high tide is accompanied by
o. strong northeast wind., ilhllls entirely cutting off the section until ebb tide.•
There a.re a few small developments of good character, but the area as a wh~le is
remote, sparsely settled, treeless o.nd unlikely te develop as a hemogeneous
desiro.ble neighborhood·.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
The area as outlined is level and approximately 20% developed with SJM.11 hemes
well spaced and set back from the street. Only one street has been eut tlilrough
and developed ( Foreman Drive) and no new construction is now taking place, 'JJhe
area is treeless and the outlook unnttractive so that it cannot bo olassified
as a desirable neighborheod. There are about six two story briok heuses on the
east side of Granby St. approxinately ten yoars old in nbout the $7500 class,
some of whioh cater to tourist trade. Granby St • . is the principal thoroughfare
to Ocean View and affords street oar transportation a.bout 20 min-utos to d~"::!ltawn
Norfolk. Schools., churohes and neighborhood steres o.re reasonably noar. <,:
A special assossment has been a.greed up•n for this area in consideration of street
improvements and it will expiro in 1949. ..

About 10% of the structures are apartment l;>lllildings of mixed types. A level
area approximately 90% built up. The majority of streets are hard surfaeed,
but all are poorly lighted. All city facilities. The poorest part of the area
lies between Hampton Boulevard and the railroad spur, where there are a number
of industrial establishments including a ooal yard and a lumber yard, a~d where,
the houses are mostly small bungalows renting for $10 to $12 a month. Ample
transportation is afforded by bus and street oar. Hampton Boulevard and Colley
Ave. are principal thoroughfares o.nd both are business streets. The southern
portion of the area is also less desirable beoause of proximity to a semiindustrial section and railroad tracks on 23rd Street. Generally the neighborhood is congested, old and declining in desirability. Population is fo.irly
sto.ble.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This area appeals to people of moderate income and the p0pulation is stable, with
good pride of home ownership on many of the streets. Lo..fa.yette Blvd. o.nd. Ballentine Blvd. are principal thoroughfares but there is little traffic through the

of the o.reo. has all city facilities, most of which were insto.lled during the po.st
year. Transportation affords 25 minute sorvice to Norfolk ~ .bothbus o.nd street
oar. The area is loeo.tod o.t the extreme eastern edgo of Norfolk City and not in

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
A level area about 6o% built up. A new development of small homes is taking
place in the s,rutherly portion of the area. The majority of the new houses
are bungalows of fo.ir eonstruotion built on lots 50 x 100 feet. Elsewhere
in the area a few two-family houses have been built within the lo.st twelve
mo1aths. ranging i'n the neighborhood of $6500. A mnjority ef the streets in
the area are hard surfuoed, but there a,r e ne sidewalks. Street lighting is
poor. There is a new high school and playground in the approximate center
of tho aroa.. Grnde schools, churches and neighborhood stores are considered
convenient. Chesapeake Ave. a.nd Ja.ckson •lvo . nre principal thoroughfares.
Adequate tran.sportution is afforded by street co.r. The new construction above
referred to is not proeeoding rapidly a.nd is not of such a no.ture as to improve
tho genera.l grade of the neighborhood, and its futt:1re is questi:onnble since the
a.roo. is outlying and too closo to fertilizer pln.nts loonted to the south and
wost. The tracks of tho Norfolk & Portsmouth Belt Lino Rro..lroo.d o.re adjacent
to the sooth a.nd tho o.roa. is surrounded by spa.rsoly settled sections inhabited
by mixod population, so thnt the a.pproa.ch is poor .

A large gro.de school is located within the a r ea and ehurc hes , trnnsp<rto.tion, and

8. DESCRIP'rION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
a level area approxiim.tely 75% developed with houses of good co~struotion set
back from the street with lawns and shrubbery in good eondition, indicating
pride of home ownership. New construction is scattered through the area, There
are a few four to six-family frame apartme111ts renting $30 to $55 per month per
unit. A majority of the streets are wide, ha.rd surfaced and in good · e0ndition
0ut poorly lighted, a fault oonmon with all P0rtsmouth neighborhoods. The
eastern portion of the area around Chatauqua Avenue is adversely affeeted by
proximity to railroad tracks. The railroad yards adjacent to the northeast are
undesirable because of noise and smoke and there are also railroad -:t,rncks and
industry adjacent t0 the south. The water-front to the north is desirable and
the character of the houses gradually improves in that direction. Schools,
ehurche,s and n.eigpborhood stores and convenient and adequate tro.nsportntion is
afforded by bus. In generul,age and obsolescence are adversely affecting residential desirability and the neighborhood has begun to decline.

That portion of the area west of the cemetery and the inlet from Scott 1 s Creek is
known as West Park View. From the cemetery to the western boundary, ho1ises are
substantial, neat in appearance with evident pride of home ©WJ!l.ership ir,i. maiz:iten:mce of lawns and shrubbery, but defi:ai tely declining in desirability because of
<1ge and obsolescence arui the proximity of poorer neighborhoods to the south. Park
V:iew, east of the eemetery, is older and more congested. Here there are several
b:·ick and frame four to twelve family apartmon.ts renting for $35 to $65 per month
per unit. Obnoxious odors from the inlet adversely affect adjacen.t parts of the
neighborhood but this is not noticeable eleewhore. Except as noted above, the
m-ea has generally a poor appearance, adjacent neighborhoods are bad, ond the
cemetery is al so an adverse factor, so that resid.ential desirability is definitely
decli:ning. Schools, churches and neighborhood stores we convenient and transportation is afforded by bus. Streets are in fair condition but are poorly lighted,
a fault corrmon in all Portsmouth neighborhoods.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACI'ERISTICS OF ARFA:
This is a level area about 85% bu.il t up. Some demoli ti@lil. 0f the 0lder houses has
taken :place in the past few years. It is el0seJ.y built f0r the m0st part with
older houses, difficult t0 move because of age ~d oli>s0lescence. H0wever, tRere
are a few more m0dern houses north 0f Elizabeth St. in. spite 0f tl:le fact that
there is a large gas tank adjacent at that pOiE.t. Streets are woll paved. and
have sidewalks, but are poorly lighted. Ab0u.t 21:1/, .o f the structures are m0dern
brick apartments renting fer $10 to $12 por r0Gm per month. The area is el0se in.
and therefore a goodi. :rentru demand is experie:nced. Being a. small area 0f limited
possibilities for further development , adjacent t0 industry and the gas plant and
surrounded by poorer neighborhoods, its only really desirable feature is its
location at the water front and its convenience to the d0wntown ibuei:aess section.

A level area about 004/o built up. A comparatively old :neighborhoo.d and most of th.e
houses have been placed OE. 30-foot lots. New building eonstru.ction is fair and
scattered through th0 area.. A majority 0f. the streets are hnrd stn'faced, with
sidewalks, but poorly lighted. Schools, ehurches and neighborheod;"sto:ves are e0nvenient and bus traiilsportation is adequate.. Most of the houses are set back fr0m
the street,. with fron.t la.ms and shrubbery in geod eond.ition.,. evidencing pride of
home Qwnership.. P0pulatfon is strfule. Lecatio>n of the area is e01avenient for employmor1t at the Navy Yard as we,11 as for those employed in the J1ailroad ywdis to
the northwest.. A fertilizer plant usil:lg ~'Tilllonia. i:a its mon.ufacturing process is ~
located Rear'by and obnoxiou.s odors are often noticed, especially in damp weather
when the fumes rooiain close to the ground. Elm street is a princip>al thoroughfare but there is a consi dornble amount of troffie through the balance of tl:le area
because of Deep Creek Boulevard,. which passes through its western ])Ortion. Age
and obsolescence preclude a desirable classification.

~is is one of the many scattered new develepments in Norfelk County. A level
25% built up. .All ei ty faeil i ties exeept gas. ~he genel'all.
aspect is that of a rural community. !!!he heuses are sma11, but of g-eod construotio:n and planning. Streets are in g-eod conditi0:n but p00rly lighted. !lllaere are
railroad trneks adjacent to tho north, but this pwt of the area :Ls very spal'aely
settled. Princess Anno Road at the sou.them 'beundro-y is one of tiile principal.
thoroughfares to Virginia Beach and the Cape Ckarles ferry. The schooi is about
twe miles distant and churches and n eigb.borho,1 d stores aro remote. Some pride of
homo ownership is ovident i:n the 1naintenanco of property. :Being on outlying area
with a poor opproach. precludes it from a desirable classification, aJ.thou8h it

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARAC'rERISTICS OF AREA:
!rhis is a spti.r.sely settled, cemparatively new area adjacent to the southeast of
Norfolk. The area b.a.s elee,t :rici ty but ne sewer connection. Few streets are
sur:faced and all are pearly lighted.. The a:rea is rural in general eharaeter, and
al tl!l.ou.gb. there is a new school on Riverside Drive and Karlin Ave., there a.re no
neighborhood stores and no public transportation. ll!ipperten Place is the newest
part of the o.rea, but Ingleside is the most attractive and there a.re se:,me hemes
in this pa.rt of the area in the $6000 class. ll!he waterfront generally is desira:ble and. ho.s a good eutloek. !rhe adverse factors above mentioned, together \7ith
tho :fact that it is an eutlying area with a poor approach, preclude a desirabl-0
classification.

•
A level aJ.'ea practically 100% built up, extending n0rth from 00th Street along
the James River. While there is a good outl0ok acr0ss the river, the \Yater is
pol.luted because of sewerage disposal, and not. usable f0r S\7inming. Virginia
Ave. and Hunt,ington Ave. are principal thoroughfares, with a considerable am:>unt
of traffic.. 'J!he cross streets are well pavecl and have sidewalks,. but are poorly
lighted. F.ast of Virginia Ave. thel'e are a :number of tobacco warehouses and ·
a large PUJ!'!Ping station, beyond. \vhieh lies the Ch'esapeake & Ohio R.R. tracks.
'J!hera is a hospital located in tho south\vest co:rner of the area. The houses are
of various types, but are of uniformly standard construction, ,1011 set back from
the street with lawns aRd shrubbery in good condition. The population is a.table
and evidences good pride of homo ownership • . ~he planning is ~od, ond the rouses
well spaced on fifty-foot lots. Tronsportation is convenient by bus and stlI'eet
cro- ond thora are adequate neighborhood shopping facilities . Sclwols and churchos
we convenient. In general, age and obsolescence preclude tho best classification
for .the neighborhood al.though it is still desirable• .

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
A congested area approximately 9~ built up. 'l9:lis downto\Vll section sUl'r0unds the
ma.in retail sales district in NS\vport :Me\vs. Generally speaking it is old and
congested and suffers from proximity to the Newport News S.:S. & D.D. Co. plant
to the west, the encroachment of business and industry ( including railroad tracks)
and a large steel scrap yard to the east. About 10% of the structure~ are apartment houses built during the World War and .now renting for from $5.00 to $12.00
per room per month. !lllio area b1nmded by 25th and ·35th Sts. from Washingt0n to

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
A level area approximately 90i built up, being sparsely settled toward the
nerth and nertheast, otherwise the building is congested. !19:lere is no setback
from tlie street as a rule, aJ. though some houses have small frent lawns and same
pride of home ownership is evident in tb.e maintenance 0f property. Constructfon
is fair. Transportation is available by bas and street car. .All ~proaches to
the area are bad. Streets are ,vell paved and the majority have sidewaJ.lts, but all
are poorly lighted. The streets are likely te remain wet for a. considerable time
after rainfall because of po0r drainage. It is a popular residential section for
the lowor middle class income group. Schools, churches and neighborhaod stores
are oonvenient. .Ago and obsolescence preclude a , desirable classification.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACI'ERISTICS OF AREA:
A level area approximatoly 80% built up, being sparsely settled town.rd the south
and east. ~e eastern beundory is adjacent to Salter• s Crook, near which the
land is low and inclined to be swampy. 'lfue:ro is a cemetery adjacent te the
northeast e0rner. Not included in the above figures is a group <:>f houses in the
southeast corner called Ivy Park, bet,veen ©ak ond Parrish Av0s. Many of these
homes arc in the $10,000 class, but su:ffor in desirability becau.so of tho very
much poorer aroo surrounding it. Majo:rd ty of tho streets are well paved raid havo
sidewalks, but are poorly li@.'l.to:.d. Schools, churches and neigllberhood stores
a.re convenient ond tronsportation is o:fforded by both bus and street car. 'nle
area in general, with the excGJ)tion of Ivy Park, is eongosted, ru. though a few
houses o.re set back from the street on fo.ir sized lots with lawns and shrubbery.
~ere are a few trees in the area ond a gc.moJ?ally good appearance. Tho neighbor. hood is popular '7ith middle class to lower middle class income group, and tho
population is stablo. Dosirability gradually in:proves toward tho eastern end.
The opproaches to tho aroo arc poor. Ago and obsolescence gonerolly preclude
a. good elassifica.tion ond tho neighborhood is definitely doclining in residential
dosirabil i ty.

8. DESCRlPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
A level aroo approximately 80% built up.
Its western bo1mdo.ry is formed by
Salter's Croek:, noo.r which tho land is low and inclined to be swampy. 'l1here is
a cemetery noor tho northwest corner. Sparsely settled. toward the north and west
at Poor Ave., the city line. Houses of a very much batter character th.rut the
average throughout the aroa may be found on Chesapeake :Boulevard. !lfuis part of
tho area overlooks Hong;>ton Roads and is m:>re desirable. 'JJhere is a hospital at
tho :foot of Buxton Ave. 'l1he water is not suitable for swimming because of
sewerage disposal in Hampton Roads. A number of small, cheaply eonatructed
houses are scattered through the central portion of tho orea., making it loss
desirable, otherwise construction is fair and there is some prido of home o\mership evident. Schools, churches and neighborhood stores are convenient, and
transportation is available by bus ond street car. All appttoaohes to the area
are bad. Mo st of the stroets are well paved and a :few have sidewalks, but all
are poorly lighted. !Jfu.e area has long since reached its peak ~c1 has for some
timo been declining in residential desirability due to ago and obsolescence.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARAcrERISTICS OF AREA,
A level area a:pproximately ?Ell, built up. Sparsely settled sections to the west
in Elizabeth City County, but adjacent to the best residential section of Hampton
( C43) to the east. There is a High School located at Jackson Street near Victoria
Ave. Both of these streets are principal thoroughfares fran Newport and there is
a considerable amount of -traffic. Large stadium and playground on Venable Ave. at
the city line. The streets generally are well paved snd have sidew9lks, but are
poorly lighted. Many of the houses are old and obsolete, and therefore difficult
to sell. There is a good rental demand, h0wever, and an upward trend is indicated
for rental -prices. Some pride of home ownership is evident throughout the area,
and while it is fairly desirable, it is unworthy of better than third grade because
of general age· .and obsolescence. Convenient to the downtown shopping district
the center of which is at King and Queen Streets. There are a number of shell
fishing establishments alomg the waterfront. Here, crab meat and other shell fish
are cooked in large quantities and especially in danp weather this gives rise to
objectionah:l.e odors which are noticeable throughout the city.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This is the best residential section of Hampton. but there are no building restrictions. Practically all the houses are large and of obsolete type, difficult
to sell. A level ru:-ea ~rox:i.mat0ly loo% built up. Many olf the homes aro attraetively londscoped, with spacious lawns and gordens in good condition, evidencing
pride of home ownorship. The majority of tho streets are wide .:lild well paved.
and most of them have sidewalks. Schools ond churches are convenient, am. adequate bus and street car transportation is available to Newport News. No neighborhood in Hampton is very far awoy from the down town shopping district, tho
ceR~or of which is o.t King and Q;ueen Streets. Thero are a number of shellfishing
establishments along the wat0rfr0nt. Here, crab meat and other shell fish are
cooked in large quantities and especiru.ly in damp· woa.tber ·this gives rise to objectionable odors, which are noticeable throughout the city. Age and obsolescence
preclude a good classification for this neighborhood and it has begun to decline
in residential desirability,

8. DESCRimON AND CHARAcrEPJSTICS OF ARBA:
A level area practically 100% built up. Mallory Ave. and Queen Street are principal thoroughfares. The waterfront except where occupied. by the shell fishing
industry, is desirable residentially but .the houses are comparatively old and
difficult to sell. The majority of the streets are hard surfaced and have sidewalks. but are pooiI'ly lighted. A number of the older structures have beem rehabili tatoo. and are in good rental demand. There are no building restricti0ns.
Schools and churches are convenient and there is ad.equate bus and street car
transportation to Newpor.t Ncwso Ho neighborhood in Hampto:n is very far ~ey from
the downtown shopping district, the center of which is at King and Queen Streets.
There are a number of shellfishing establishments along the waterfront. Here.,
crab meat an9- other shellfish are cooked in largo qunntitios, and especially in
damp weathei, this gives riee to objectionable odors which are notlaeable through~
out the city. Residential desirability is definitely doclining due to age and
obsolescence.

8. DESCRlPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
Phoebus is a typical country· ~own of a0out 3000 population •. The terrain is
level and about 75% improyea.•. Economic activity is primarily dependent oi:i
Langley Field and Fort Monr0e. A National. Disabled SoJl.d:iiers' Heme is .11..ocated
adjacent to the southwest. Construction generallly is fair and the population
stable. Mallory Street and County road are pri:acipal thoroughfares,. aJ. though
traffic is not hazardous. Few other streets are hard surfaced. and all are
poorly lighted. Some pride of home ownership evident in go0d ma.intenai:ice of
property, but there are few shade trees and no part 0f the town has residential
charm or appeal. Shell fisheries are located ail.ong the waterfront, giving rise
to o1moxious odors,,.. especially in damp weather.. There is ~- Fire Department an.d
schools and churches are convenient. Adequate transportation by bus and street
car ... New construction is scattered, the surrounding area sparsely settled and
largely devoted to farming. The Chesapeake arrl Ohio Railroad tracks bisect the v
town north and south., General age and obsolescence preclude a desirable classification •.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OE AREA:
This is a level area approximn.tely eii/, developed. Streets a.re boing ~oved. and
city facilities installed. Schools and ehurches arc convenient and ad.equate
transportation is afforded by both bus nnd street ear. There is a considerable
amount of traffic on Koooughtan Road and Hampton Roads Boulevard,, but comparativoly little traffic through tho area otherwise. Al.though deserving of the
highest classification for residential desirability because of new construction
activity and. good demond, this area does not quite measure up to other first
grade neighborhoods or to the new developments just outside tfie area of our survey, such as Warwick, Hilton Village and Brondon cm the Jomes River to the north
of Newport News. A new apartment development, con:muni ty shopping center and theater are located adjacent to the north'.'mst corner. Waterfromt property is the
most desirable and there are some expensive houses along the shore, but at times
obnoxious odors arise from tho water., particularly at low tide, due to sewage
disposal in Hampton Roads. New building is star\d.ard construction, set well back
from the street on fifty-foot 1ots and modestly landscaped but only fU/, of the
houses have a centrru. heating system installed..

6. MORTGAGE FUNDS:
The neighborhood is desirable but elder than. the Wythe and Indian !River
park section -(A4). The shore front is generally conceded to be more desi~able
and here some of the houses are in the $25,000 class and upward•. However., the
water is not suitable for swinnning am. obnoxious odors at times arise fr0m it,
especicl.ly .at low tide., due to sewerage disposal i~ Harn:pton Roads.. Schools,
churches and neighborhood stores are convenient. A majority of streets are hard
surfaced and have sidewalks exce-::)t in the easterly portion of the area, which is
sparsely settled. All strcl?ts
poorly lighted. .Ad.eql:late transportation is
afforded by both bus and street ca'!'.'.. Hmnpton Roads l3oulevard and Kecoughtan Road
are principal thoroughfares. There is a considerable amount of traffic on the
latter, bit there is comparatively little traffic through the area.

8. DESCRlPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA: An area approximately½ mile wia.e
extending for about il.O miles al0ng ... ··
the James River, northwestward. from Newport News aEd. inelucling su.en eommuru. ties and
r,iew developments as Rivennont,. Bil ton. Village, :Bra1r1.aon-on-the James, Mu.seuzn Park,
Warwick-on-the-James, and Morrison. Since the seeurity area map was limited in. size,
only Rivermont and a section of Hilton are sbown an the map. Hilton Village was developed during the World War by the U.S •. Housing Cor]>oration and was late::r sole. i:r:i
one trade to the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Doek Company wloo subsequei:itiy
marketed this group of about 200 small homes,. to individuall.. owners. This particuil.ar
group of homes in Hilton Village would probably now fall in the $3500-$4WO class
and while because of age. they would not classify as first grade,. they have been
beneficially influenced by good. maintenance, pride of own.ership, ru1d charaeter of the
sur;roURding developments. . The newer constructi0n is sound, well plmmed, and has
attracted a good middle and upper middle class 9f people •. Morrison is also an estal>-·
lished conmunity• . Other developnents mentioned are of more recent origin. The construction is sound, well planned and attractive.. The terrain is slightly rolling i:n
some places but generally level. Brick and frame houses are well spaced and some are
on very largo 1ots. There is no important concen,~ation of new houses in one place
but con:struction is preceding slowly throughout tho area and it is attracting the
executives and business men of Newport News •. On the whole this is an area occupied
by people in a higher income group than those now ee~ attracted to the Wythe and
Indian River Section of Elizabeth City County (Area A4}
