Roanoke Park is one of the early 20th century neighborhoods in the
area locally known as Five Points. This picturesque neighborhood
has a curvilinear street pattern which was laid out in response to
the topography. This makes it fun to walk and easy to lose your
way. Streets are named after people and places in North Carolina
history and are oriented around the centerpiece of the neighborhood
'Roanoke Park'.
Though the neighborhood was started in 1913, core development took
place during the 1920's 30's and 40's. The oldest homes are found
on Sunrise Avenue. Many popular architectural styles from the
first half of the 20th century are found here - Colonial Revival,
Craftsman, Foursquare, Tudor, Minimal Traditional, Ranch and even
Shotgun - with Craftsman being the most common.
Attractive homes, beautiful setting and convenience to many amenities
make Roanoke Park a wonderful place to live. Walk to Five Points for
food, shopping and entertainment.
