Located in the southeastern part of town, Heritage Hill is one of the largest districts in the country. It's home to over 1000 Victorian homes, one of which was constructed by the great Frank Lloyd Wright and then turned into a museum. While you won't be living in a home built by Mr. Wright, you will have the opportunity to choose from an abundance of beautiful homes in the area. And you more than likely don't have to worry about lagoon cleaning.

Because of all the historic homes in the area, one of the more popular things to do in Heritage Hill is visit the homes that were built in the 1800s. You can either do so by taking a sponsored home tour every first weekend of October. Put on by the Heritage Hill Association, you get the opportunity to actually take a tour inside the historic homes. You could also pick up a publication of self-guided walking tours of the district. You can go on those tours anytime but you don't have access to going inside the homes. Heritage Hill is also closely located near pubs, universities and theatres, which makes taking a stroll through town very convenient.
