The Grandin Road Commercial Historic District, also referred to as Grandin Village, is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places located in the Raleigh Court neighborhood of the independent city of Roanoke, Virginia.[3] Centered at the intersection of Memorial Avenue and Grandin Road (US 11), Grandin Village hosts an array of independently owned retail and dining establishments.[4] The district has been noted as one of Roanoke's best examples of a mixed-use urban village, and has been used as a local model for future mixed-use developments within the community.[5]
