City dwellers --Do you live in an historic district?
If you live in a city or federally designated historic district, how much extra expense have you found it to be? Have rules and reviews been strictly enforced?

I was recently researching some historic neighborhoods in Denver to move to. It appears there, the COL is cheaper and rent is cheaper. Most of the building is from the 30's. Don't know if that's relevant to what you are looking into but good luck!

I bought a house that was a historic site. It is a pain if you want to do anything crazy. But, if you don't plan on doing major renovations, you should be fine.

It is our goal to purchase a historical house, be it deemed so or not. But 50's is probably the newest we want.
Anyways, I have seen that advertisements listing the historical fees to be included in the loan, for the term of the loan. Other times, they outright say in the ad how much it is. I have seen it high ($100/mo) and low (couple hundred a year). I do know that on our Warm Springs Ave., it is significantly higher, because of the geothermal springs providing the heat. I would speak with a real estate agent that has properties in the areas you are interested in. This sort of information is free, and only takes one call.

I'm not actually looking at buying in an historical district. It is just that our neighborhood is being considered by our city preservation board.
