About Heritage Hill

Just a short walk from Downtown Grand Rapids, Heritage Hill is one of the nation's top areas for historic homes. With more than 1300 buildings dating back to 1844 this is a must-see neighborhood. In the 1960’s, urban renewal plans threatened the city with destruction. The residents fought and saved this historic neighborhood which resulted in a concentration of 19th and early 20th century architecture still standing.

Heritage Hill’s location draws people in with proximity to entertainment, universities, and the medical districts. Just a 5-minute walk to Downtown Grand Rapids, there is also a small collection of eateries nestled among the historic hill.

Heritage Hill boundaries include Crescent St. to the north, Union Ave. to the east, Wealthy St. to the south, Lafatette Ave. to the west.
