Description
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Oakwood is an enchanting neighborhood of restored and carefully maintained Victorian and Antebellum homes. While strolling through, you might expect to see ladies in full dress shading their faces with parasols and horse-drawn carriages trotting up and down the streets. Oakwood is truly at its finest in the spring, when the gardens put on their best show and at the annual Christmas Candlelight Tour, but it is lovely any time of year. Bordered by Franklin, Watauga, Linden, Jones and Person Streets.
