In postwar years, the area would take on its own identity representing the amenities of 20th century postwar suburban life. The opening of Military Highway in 1943 Despite many changes through the years, caused a major shift in the area’s expansion, however, the planning area has retained triggering a series of changes to the some aspects of the community’s early community’s built form that are still visible design: a compact street grid lends a sense today. The growth of postwar residential of cohesion throughout the area, while more subdivisions throughout the area was generous front lot setbacks in residential followed by further regional growth spurred areas shift focus to the community’s on by the development and expansion of suburban character. These characteristics major transportation links, such as Interstate have helped the Indian River Planning Area 64, as well as smaller commercial growth retain its community character and sense along Indian River and Providence Roads of place, while also limiting commercial and, much later on, the nearby development development to main thoroughfares. of Greenbrier Mall. 10 Chapter 1: Existing Conditions GROWTH THROUGH THE YEARS Map: 1887 Map: 1921 Source: Library of Congress Rail Source: USGS Downtown Rail Norfolk Downtown Norfolk Trolley Ford Plant Berkley Berkley Oaklette Trolley Indian River Rd Norfolk Rail Rail Highlands Main Line Canal Providence Rd STUDY AREA STUDY AREA 1 1870s - 1900 2 1900 - 1940 – Late 1700s: Providence Road established – 1904-13: Norfolk Highlands and Indian River Estates begin to – 1843: Oaklette Community established develop; Trolley is extended into the Indian River Area to serve new subdivisions; Trolley service ends a decade after its extension – 1850s-Early 1900s: Railroads enter South Norfolk, Berkley, and Indian River area – 1910s: Main drainage canal constructed to drain swamp land in the Greenbrier area into Indian River – 1878: Indian River Turnpike and Toll Bridge Company formed (Now Indian River Road) – 1925: Norfolk Assembly Ford Plant opens Map: 1955 Map: 1994 Source: USGS Source: USGS Downtown 264 Downtown Norfolk Norfolk Berkley Berkley City of Norfolk Indian River Rd City of Chesapeake 464 Providence Rd High School Military Hwy Military Hwy 64 STUDY AREA STUDY AREA Greenbrier Mall 3 1940 - 1960 4 1960 - 2000 – 1943: Military Highway opens – 1967-69: I-64 and Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expwy (now I-264) open – 1963: South Norfolk City and Norfolk County merge to – 1960s-70s: Residential subdivisions develop (outside of become the City of Chesapeake Oaklette, Norfolk Highlands, and Indian River Estates) – 1970s-80s: Local roads widened; 6-lane bridge for Indian River Road built over Indian River – 1987-89: I-464 opens between I-64 and Downtown Norfolk Indian River Planning Area Study 11 Elizabeth River HISTORICAL ASSETS Tanglewood Tr FIGURE: 1.2.1 Sparrow Rd KEY Oldest Roads Pre WWII Residential Campostella Rd Neighborhoods Sparrow Rd Post WWII Residential 1 Laurel Ave Neighborhoods Indian River Rd Parks Rivers & Waterbodies Tatemstown Rd Tide Light Rail x Historic and Historical Oaklette Dr 2 Context Images (see next page for the Davis Ave images) Wingfield Ave Fontana Ave Statham Rd Study Area Boundary Lilac Ave Hawthorne Dr Elder Ave Willow Ave Cornick Ave Sparrow Rd 13 Walnut Ave Cobb Ave 3 Rokeby Ave Longdale Crescent Crown Crescent Sparrow Rd Rock Creek Dr 4 Main St Paramount Ave Providence Rd Lloyd Dr S MilitarySmith AveHwy Old Greenbrier Rd Dunbarton Dr Live Oak Dr 64 Georgetown Blvd Steppingstone Sq Greenbrier Pkwy N 0 0.25 0.5 Miles Woodlake Dr 13 1” = 0.4 Miles Data Sources: City of Chesapeake, Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC), City of Norfolk 64 12 Chapter 1: Existing Conditions HISTORICAL ASSETS modes incrementally converted the area from agricultural land and wetlands into – The Indian River area is a collection an increasingly urban place. of neighborhoods stitched together by historic roads, rail lines, and waterways. – The Tide Light Rail provides access to rail transit to the communities north – The area’s ‘oldest roads’ remain the of Indian River community.

  • City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan – It's Our Future: a Choice City
    City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan – It’s Our Future: A Choice City November 20, 2018 1.3 - SUBURBAN AREA INTRODUCTION Much of the area located north of the Green Line possesses a suburban land use pattern, meaning the area primarily consists of low- to medium-density residential land use with commercial retail, office, and service uses interspersed throughout the area. This land use pattern is the result of more than a century of the development of communities created by subdividing all or portions of the farms that defined Princess Anne County (now the City of Virginia Beach) since the 17th century. The earliest subdivisions were established in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, located adjacent to the railroad line that connected the City of Norfolk to the Town of Virginia Beach. Since the automobile was largely a novelty during these years, movement outside of the urban core cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth was either via the railroad or a poorly maintained roadway system using horse and wagon. The railroad line offered developers the opportunity to establish communities outside the urban core of Norfolk for those who desired to choose a lifestyle less intense than that of Norfolk. This trend of creating communities outside the urban core cities occurred not only here, but throughout the United States, and England as well. Eventually, the area outside the core urban cities was designated as being ‘suburban.’ Vestiges of the early suburban communities in Virginia Beach can be seen in the existing street layout of Pembroke, south of Virginia Beach Boulevard, which were established as Euclid Place (1910) and Sunny Brook (1916).

This cluster of occupied real estate is not a coupon clipping venture. Besides net operating income of approximately $1,200,000.00, these closely held locally owned real estate holdings involve the full gambit of landlord responsibilities: Marketing signage and social media, interviewing prospects, lease drafting, zoning preservation, intermittent (not daily) maintenance and vendor selection and bidding for items like roofs or ex- pansions, insurance coverage, rent collection, real estate tax payments or protests, annual IRS reporting and distribution of profits to owner(s)/investor(s). The redacted rent roll on page iii provides basic information with current rent rates available af- ter signing a confidentiality agreement and basic introductions to each other. *It is conceivable that some tenants may wish to purchase their occupied parcels, thus reducing the portfolio size and purchase price accordingly.
