History and Architecture
What does it take to own one of the most elegant homes in the city? Heritage Hill oozes history wherever you look. There are about 1,300 homes located in this nationally recognized Historic District and each one of them tells a story.
The earliest homes were built in 1843 and are well into their second century. In the late 60's, there were plans in place to demolish a large portion of the Historic Properties, but residents protested the demolition under the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act. Their successful suit resulted in the creation of the Heritage Hill Association, whose task it is to preserve a healthy and vibrant historic community.
About this area
Step into Heritage Hill and you'll feel the weight of history in the best possible way. This is where Grand Rapids keeps its architectural treasures — 1870s Victorians with curved staircases and unpainted woodwork, 1920s English Manors with vaulted foyers, and the occasional Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece thrown in for good measure. Walking these tree-lined streets feels like flipping through a coffee table book on American architecture, except you get to live inside the pages. The Hillmount, that striking 1949 Art Moderne building, stands as the neighborhood's nod to mid-century modernism, complete with rooftop deck views that'll make you forget you're in Michigan.
