Local preservation groups like ACORN are working to save some of the interesting architecture in the neighborhood. The Southern Tip part of Highland Park is located directly across the bridge from the VCU Biotech Park/MCV and is within a mile of the Virginia Capitol. The neighborhood is also known as Chestnut Hill (with the area above Magnolia street being known as 'The Plateau'). The entire Chestnut Hill/Plateau area are a designated Historic District.
