Why Live in West Central

The area is characterized by homes dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Victorian-style houses, bungalows, American Foursquares, and Colonial Revivals. While many homes are in disrepair, recent infrastructure improvements, including a $14.5 million project to update stormwater and sewer lines, are revitalizing the neighborhood.
