Historical Districts are architectually or historically recognized as a place of significant community importance by both the State of Alabama and the City of Huntsville.  In Huntsville there are three residential historical districts:  Twickenham, Old Town, and Five Points.  To preserve the character and community value of these neighborhoods, the Huntsville Historic Preservation Commission must approve new construction, renovation, and any alterations including those of color and fencing.

Twickenham 
Twickenham was the first district in Huntsville to be named a historical district in 1972.  This district contains the largest collection of pre-civil war homes in the state of Alabama at 65 homes.    There are architectural styles dating as far back as 1814 and contain styles such as Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne to name a few.  Being a historical district, Twickenham Real Estate has high value and is kept to code in maintaining its historical look and beautiful neighborhood for everyone around the city to enjoy.

Old Town
The City of Huntsville designated Old Town a historical district in 1974.  Old Town contains homes as far back as 1828 with much of the style being a Victorian flavor.  Once the early 1900s rolled in though there were Colonial Revival style homes to compete with the strong Victorian character which had been built into the neighborhood for 80 years prior.  Much like Twickenham, the Old Town Real Estate has a high value due to its name as a historical district and its Victorian charm that is kept up to code by historical preservation code.

Five Points
In 1999, the City of Huntsville added the latest residential historical district.  Five Points was originally called the East Huntsville Addition in 1892.  Based on a grid layout of the 19th Century, Five Points contains middle class homes with lots that are narrow and deep with alleys in the back with styles of Victorian, Bungalows, Cape Cods and Ranches.  Five Points was considered Huntsville's first suburb with a streetcar line for easy passage to the city interior without walking a longer distance or owning a car. Five Points Real Estate in comparison to the other historical districts is modest in its value.
