About Historic South Side

The Historic South Side covers the older residential streets south of downtown Ypsilanti. Housing is largely nineteenth- and early twentieth-century, and part of the area falls within the Ypsilanti Historic District, where exterior work is reviewed.

Historic South Side is an established Ypsilanti neighborhood south of the downtown district. Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century housing, residential blocks and proximity to Michigan Avenue give the area a different feel from the township's planned subdivisions. It is a useful place to look for an older city home with its own architectural character and a connection to downtown destinations.

The housing includes properties that have evolved through additions, renovation and changes in use over time. A smaller detached home and a larger converted residence can occupy nearby blocks while serving very different needs. The neighborhood's position south of downtown is the key geographic feature; individual historic status and permitted use must be checked for the specific address.

Ask me whether a specific address is inside the district boundary, because it changes what an owner may do.
