Established in 1949, the neighborhood is historically distinctive for its efforts to maintain a balanced racial composition, a practice enforced by the home owners association, at a time when deed covenants restricting ownership by race and ethnicity were common.[2] The neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
