What are the advantages to owning property in a historic district?
Property owners in the historic districts receive benefits not available to others in the City. Numerous studies have shown that historic designation increases property values, and review board oversight increases it even more. Property owners are able to take advantage of preservation experts who work and volunteer for the City. They also have the security of knowing that neighboring properties will not suffer unsympathetic changes. Historic districts have a unique sense of place desired by many people.
