Heritage Districts;

Do they work? Reported in the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario newsletter sent to me today are some answers.

Heritage Districts Work! - Report Now Available

A major project on Heritage Conservation Districts (HCDs) undertaken by the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario to determine whether they are meeting their goals is now complete.

The conclusion? Heritage Districts work! By in large the goals set for individual Heritage Conservation Districts have been achieved. Satisfaction with living and owning property in districts is overwhelming; with seventy-five per cent of respondents indicating that they were either "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with living in an HCD. A study of sales trends showed strong real estate performance in HCDs, especially those where HCD guidelines are consistently enforced.
