University of Virginia land lies to the north and west and is not part of any planning neighborhood. Stadium Road, Fontaine Avenue and Crispell Drive form parts of its edges. Jefferson Park Avenue (U.S. 29 Business) runs through it, along with Lee Street, Maury Avenue and Lane Road. OpenStreetMap names Clarke Court as a place inside it.

The whole of the city’s Oakhurst Circle-Gildersleeve Wood architectural design control district lies inside this neighborhood; exterior changes there go through the city’s historic review. Call Neighborhood Development Services zoning staff at 434-970-3995.
