The Stuart Area Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1983, was Kalamazoo's most fashionable address in the late 1800s — home to three U.S. senators — and holds more than 300 houses in Queen Anne, Italianate, Gothic Revival and Colonial Revival styles. Housing shortages in the 1920s and Western's growth after it dropped mandatory on-campus residency in the 1970s turned many of those houses into apartments. As a local historic district, Stuart also reviews exterior changes, so pre-sale renovation is rarely quick.
