Where it is

This page uses the Larchmont and Edgewater civic league area on the city’s map, about 946 acres. The city’s planning map calls the same part of town Planning District 37, Edgewater-Larchmont. Hampton Boulevard runs through the middle, with Jamestown Crescent, Richmond Crescent and North Fairwater Drive among the named streets OpenStreetMap shows. The Lafayette River forms its northern edge.

About 98% of the area is in ZIP code 23508; a sliver near the university is in 23529. On the city’s zoning map, 90% is in the Suburban character district and the rest in the Traditional district. Single-family zoning (SF-10 and SF-6) covers about 40% of the land.

Flood risk. About 95% of the area is in the city’s Coastal Resilience Overlay, which the Zoning Ordinance applies to “areas of the city subject to higher flood risk.” New buildings must meet extra flood standards. See our hurricane prep guide.

Near the university. A small part of the area is in the Institutional Residential Impact Overlay, which sets extra off-street parking rules for homes “in areas adjacent to major educational institutions,” the ordinance says.
