‘Best Old House’ list includes Holly Springs Holly Springs has received national recognition as one of the “Best Old-House Neighborhoods 2010.” As
the housing market stabilizes, now’s the time to find masterfully
crafted homes in communities that truly appreciate them, according to
the editors of This Old House, and Holly Springs is one of those
communities. The editors of the magazine have
tracked down 51 great neighborhoods that have promising futures, people
who care, and homes that truly deserve a long-term commitment. The
Best Old-House Neighborhoods, including Holly Springs, appear in the
March issue, on newsstands now, and online at
www.thisoldhouse.com/best-places. This Old
House scoured the United States, and Canada, to find unique, tight-knit
neighborhoods for its third annual search for the Best Old-House
Neighborhoods. These places might not be on your radar, but deserve to
be, according to the magazine’s editors. This Old
House magazine (p. 34) and thisoldhouse.com feature 51 great spots that
fit the criteria of old-house neighborhoods – architectural diversity,
craftsmanship of the homes, and the preservation momentum in the area
as well as neighborhood amenities including walkability, safety and
community. With the help of
PreservationDirectory.com, neighborhood groups, real estate agents, and
preservation societies, This Old House compiled its list of best places
to track down, fix up, and fall head over heels for. The National
Association of Realtors, the voice of real estate, is the sponsor of
the 2010 Best Old-House Neighborhoods list. Tim
Liddy, Holly Springs business owner and chairman of the Historic
Preservation Commission, submitted information and photos from his
hometown, which was the only city selected from Mississippi.
