Historic District Homes for Sale

The Historic District, Holland's oldest neighborhood, is rich in architectural history and community spirit. Many of these Craftsman, American Foursquare and Queen Anne homes were built between 1871 and 1930. The neighborhood's status as a registered historic district means there are restrictions on exterior renovations. Residents enjoy proximity to Centennial Park, a popular green space that blooms during the Tulip Time festival, and Kollen Park, which offers a large playground, live summer music, and access to Lake Macatawa via the Heinz Walkway. The Herrick District Library is also close, and features an updated children's section and play space. Downtown Holland, bordering the northeast side of the Historic District, has over 150 restaurants and businesses, including New Holland Brewing and The Windmill Restaurant. The historic Park Theater provides entertainment with movies, concerts, and open-mic nights. Washington School Neighbors organizes gatherings around a community garden and hosts annual block parties. The area is served by West Elementary and Holland High, both highly rated, and Vanderbilt Charter Academy, a top-ranked charter school. The Historic District is less than a mile from Holland Hospital, with the nearest grocery store, D&W Fresh Market, 2 miles away. For larger city amenities, residents travel 35 miles to Grand Rapids, home to Gerald R. Ford International Airport. The neighborhood is well-connected by MAX Transit, which has routes throughout the city and a reserve-ahead door-to-door service.
