heritage district
Protected old neighborhood
A heritage district is an officially designated area where historic buildings, architecture, or cultural character are preserved and protected.
Development restrictions typically limit alterations to maintain historical authenticity: The city council voted to expand the heritage district to include the old warehouse row.
Property owners may face stricter renovation guidelines but often receive tax incentives.
