Pick up an informational packet on the neighborhood and a listing of homes for sale that will be open for viewing. View presentations of the neighborhood. Talk with city assessor on tax abatement for new residents. Take Shuttle Bus Tours of the neighborhood featuring amenities and some of the homes for sale. Make self-guided visits of Open Houses home listings that are for sale
I hope it was a great success and those fine communities get some solid new residents,:o

Didn't know that is is the largest with the number of resources, the district must be generating a good amount of revenue.
I'm not sure what you mean by "resources". Can you clarify, please?Quote:

From Wikipedia:
"
The Rosedale Park Historic District is a historic district located in Detroit, Michigan. It is roughly bounded by Fenkell, Outer Drive, Grand River Avenue, Southfield Freeway, Glastonbury Street, Lyndon Street and Westwood Drive.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1] The Rosedale Park district has the largest number of individual properties of any district nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in Michigan, with 1533.[2]
The district contains primarily brick houses, and was largely developed from the late 1920s through the 1940s."
