North Roosevelt Avenue Historic District
Working-class immigrant heritage on the near-west side
About North Roosevelt Avenue Historic District
The North Roosevelt Avenue Historic District tells the story of Bloomington's Irish and Hungarian immigrant families, who built up these near-west-side blocks starting in the 1870s. It's a modest, tightly knit streetscape of older working-class homes with real historic roots and some of the most affordable entry points in the city. Buyers who value authenticity, affordability and a walkable close-in location will find it distinctive.
