Northside

The Northside Neighborhood in Kalamazoo is a historic, culturally vibrant neighborhood near Downtown Kalamazoo. 

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Kalamazoo, the earliest homes in the Northside were built in the late 1800s. Celery farming and manufacturing were the economic engines in the Northside for much of its early development. 

Culturally, religion and civil rights define the Northside historically. From old churches to well-documented civil rights ties, the Northside has rich history that is palpable today.

On the real estate front, the Northside, already one of the most affordable housing markets relative to Kalamazoo broadly, is being reshaped through community advocacy and state / local funding, with an influx of affordable housing projects.
