Shenandoah Avenue and What Sits Behind It
Fox Park is defined by Shenandoah Avenue more than any other street. The pre-war mixed-use buildings that line that corridor — brick above retail, ornate cornices, Victorian bay details — tell you exactly what kind of neighborhood this is and has been.
Behind the Shenandoah corridor are tighter residential streets with 2-story brick flats and smaller homes. The neighborhood is compact. That density is the characteristic: Fox Park feels like a working South City neighborhood that kept its fabric rather than losing it.
