Castleberry Hill is a historic neighborhood (placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985) that was for many years a warehouse district. In recent years, galleries, designers, and other creative professionals have flocked to this burgeoning artists enclave. [Read a recent Creative Loafing article on Castleberry Hill.] Monthly art strolls inviting people to visit the various galleries and get to know the neighborhood now draw hundreds of people. The neighborhood was recently designated a Landmark Zoning District and benefits from Live/Work zoning as well as various tax incentives.
