  As an European, it always failed to impress me. An area with homes from "HAYDAYS' but that's it - would I not assume it is something special I would not pay too much attention. Overrated

  I live in the neighborhood and never tire of the beautiful surroundings. The area covers alot of ground and every street missed is another treasure passed.

  Great houses and friendly people. We took a long walk and had a great time. We couldn't visit the Frank Lloyd Wright house because it was closed but the other houses were great to look at.

  One of my favorite things to do is to run or walk down the streets of Heritage Hill. The houses are beautiful (a few have pretty garish colors, but if this were Puerto Rico, that would be normal). A lot of time and care has gone into preserving them. What is even more amazing is if you can make it inside one or more of them. Often the insides are even better than the outsides. The Heritage Hill Tour every spring is great time to do this. I worked several tours and was always astounded at the insides of the houses. I'm not sure you can find a neighborhood with such an extensive area and diverse array of architecture. Some of my favorite streets for walking are Morris, Union, College, and Madison, but don't let these keep you from exploring some of the smaller streets like Washington and Gay.

  A group of late nineteenth and early 20th century houses. Some had been converted into apartments, but many are historically restored. The area includes some more modern, non-historic properties. It is worth a look, if you are interested in housing of this period.

  In the world of historic district, Heritage Hill is a leader and has been developed and cared for, for many years to preserve and maintain an incredible section of classic period homes.

  This area of Downtown Grand Rapids is very much in revival mode full swing. Lots of nice shops and restaurants. Beautiful old homes in various stages of renovation.

  It has that historic feel and look that most old style, Frank Right Lloyd style can showcase for a small area of the city proper. It is quite interesting and refreshing to look at the change in style and time and the upkeep and renovations are seen everywhere. A nice drive-by in a nice area if weather is permitting.

  Maybe it's because I'm spoiled by the much greater variety in architecture we enjoy in Southern California, but it got tired soon.Monotonous.
