Where were the Robin Hood apartments in Norfolk?

The Old Robin Hood Apartments were located on Robin Hood Road, between Military Highway and Azalea Garden Road. The entire apartment complex was originally constructed ( pre and post war ) housing for the military, later transfered to private ownership. The constant poor and outdated building conditions made the complex a prime target for revitalization and approximately 1982, was demolished. Activists tried to get municipal funding to upgrade and improve the complex for the low income family and individuals that had called the apartment complex home for decades but failed, mainly because of zero tax revenues which would easily be recouped by introducing a modern business facility. The eventual ownership and development deal is a matter of public record and can be found in City of Norfolk public archives. In the place of the Robin Hood Apartment Complex was constructed the Robin Hood Industrial Park West complex for regional business expansion.
