Cameron Village Historic District
Why it's listed
Cameron Village is a residential district of about eighty-eight acres...
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the district is significant as the residential portion of North Carolina's first mixed-use development and as Raleigh's first post-World War II curvilinear subdivision. It also holds a well-preserved collection of early 1950s Ranch-form houses, with some architect-designed and builder-designed homes.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
