Two notable features of the neighbourhood are Borden Park and Concordia University College[6]

In addition to Concordia University College, Concordia High School and Virginia Park Elementary School are also located in Virginia Park.

The area was originally subdivided prior to World War I, however, three out of four private dwellings data from after the end of World War II. Most dwellings are either walk-up apartments in buildings with fewer than five stories or single-family dwellings. While many single-family dwellings are owner-occupied, over 50% of the residences in Virginia Park are rented.
