OSHNA's Historic Districts
Old Seminole Heights has a wealth of historic structures. Some of these, like Hillsborough Highschool, sit on the historic register and others are grouped into one of two current historic districts. However, most of our historic structures exist outside of recognized districts. In all corners of Old Seminole Heights, not only do the historic structures stand out but so does the old fashioned sense of community--new or old home, it's the sense of community that is valued most.

The Seminole Heights Residential Overlay District

Nonresidential properties are not subject to the provisions of the overlay district.
