Nestled just west of downtown Raleigh, Anderson Heights is one of the city's most eclectic historic neighborhoods.

The area was originally part of the Bloomsbury subdivision developed in the early 1900s before being rebranded as Anderson Heights in the 1920s.

Most of its homes were built between 1920 and 1950 in popular early 20th century styles like Craftsman, Tudor Revival, and Colonial Revival.

Local builders like York Properties constructed charming residences for professionals moving to Raleigh during its growth spurt.

Zoning allowed businesses on main roads with single family homes on side streets. Deed restrictions maintained the upscale character.

Today, Anderson Heights contains over 600 restored homes showcasing architecture from the 1920s alongside newer infill. Its location provides easy access to downtown while maintaining historic charm.

The neighborhood was designated a Raleigh Historic District in 2003.
