It’s a great day to live in the Oaks.

With homes ranging from the early 1900s to the middle of the last century, the Oaks Historic District boasts distinctive, varied architecture and a diverse community of homeowners, renters, and business owners.

The Oaks Historic District Neighborhood Association, established in 1993, works to build community, guide residents to the information they need to rehabilitate and preserve historic properties, and host quarterly general meetings for residents to learn about issues within the neighborhood as well as upcoming events. The Oaks Historic District Neighborhood Association is a way for residents to get involved and get to know their neighbors.
