About Historic East Side
The Historic East Side sits immediately east of Depot Town, and its association — founded in 1973 — is the oldest in Ypsilanti. The neighborhood runs roughly from Forest and Prospect south and west to the railroad right-of-way and Grove Road, taking in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century housing on established streets. Much of this ground falls inside the Ypsilanti Historic District, which carries real design review.
Ypsilanti's Historic East Side extends through older residential streets east of Depot Town. The area brings together longstanding houses, a traditional street grid and proximity to the East Cross Street district. Its historic character is visible in the variety of building forms and the relationship between homes, porches and sidewalks, rather than in a uniform subdivision design.
A home search here can turn up modest older houses as well as larger residences with more elaborate architectural detail. Interior arrangements and past renovations vary, and some properties have more than one dwelling unit. Nearby Depot Town and Prospect Park help orient a visit to the area. When evaluating an individual home, consider both its original features and how later changes support your intended use; the neighborhood label alone does not establish a property's historic designation.
