The district's name comes from Armada Road South, the street that runs through it, and its 11 buildings are apartment houses rather than single homes. The complex was listed on the National Register on December 18, 1989, and the buildings remain in residential use today, so the district is seen mainly from the street.
The district is a residential neighborhood of private homes, so visits stay on the public streets. The boundaries are Granada Avenue, Harbor Drive South, Armada Road South and Park Boulevard South, roughly 160 acres in all. Walking these blocks gives exterior views of the 11 historic buildings; early morning or late afternoon light shows the facades and rooflines best.
