An enclave near downtown Grand Rapids, Mich., featuring historic homes in a wide variety of architecture styles is in the midst of a booming real-estate market
Heritage Hill has seen big interest from home buyers looking to get in on the enclave’s proximity to the city and architecturally diverse housing stock
Carole and Tom Hammerslag, with their daughter Julia Cotts, at the 1909 Georgian Revival home they bought in 2021.For years, Carole and Tom Hammerslag had been thinking about moving to the historic Heritage Hill neighborhood near downtown Grand Rapids from their isolated suburb. One day in June 2021, during a drive through the 1.5-square-mile area, they spotted a house that piqued their interest.
The two were in no hurry, and made an appointment to see the property some weeks later. But as soon as Mrs. Hammerslag opened the door to the house, she was sold. “I saw the French hand-cut mosaic tile in the foyer and I said, ‘This is it,’ ” said Mrs. Hammerslag, 56, a middle-school teacher. “We had a stunning stone Tudor built in 1927, so we wanted something equally as splendid and charming.”
