Historical neighborhood? Be careful what you wish for.

Sure. I own a house in a historical neighborhood. (It's a rental). It's needed painting for 2 years. But we can't manage to agree on the color. I was lucky enough to find a guy who could restore the windows, because there was no chance we could ever have agreed on replacements. Etc.
If I didn't have a tenant who really wanted to live there and does most of the work with the historical society, I wouldn't have time to keep it.

On the other hand, the value of that house is escalating wildly. A lot of people like living in old houses where mansioning is prohibited.

That's happening everwhere anyone wants to live...
