historic neighborhoods
Old preserved areas
Historic neighborhoods are areas of a city or town recognized for their architectural, cultural, or historical significance.
The designation often brings preservation protections and restrictions on alterations to buildings.
Property owners in historic neighborhoods may receive tax incentives but face limits on exterior changes: The historic neighborhood association rejected plans for vinyl siding.
Real estate listings tout historic neighborhoods for their character and walkability.
