Crescent Heights 2 story home

During the early 1900’s most of this area was citrus groves, virgin pine timber, and open range for cattle. There were a few farm and ranch homes in these outlaying parts. Recorded in 1907 is the Shepherd home, “way out in the country”, at the southeast corner of what is now 8th Street and 29th Avenue North. About 1905 to about 1925, two land booms had taken place resulting in considerable development in the area. In the areas just North of Crescent Lake, of what is now 22nd Avenue to 30 Avenue North and from 9th Street to 4th Street North certain developers were establishing several subdivisions.

Famous residents of Crescent Heights included Mrs. Mueller, of Mueller’s Macaroni, who has a home built on 7th Street. In addition, an apartment building on 24th Avenue served as the spring training home for Babe Ruth when the New York Yankees trained at the Miller Huggins-Stengel Field at the south end of Crescent Lake. Many of the residents are proud of the historical significance of their neighborhood. Several projects have been undertaken to increase the historical awareness and to preserve the heritage of it. Approximately 50-60% of the homes in Crescent Heights would qualify as a historical landmark site. One such home has been designated as “The Remington House”, a historical landmark site on 24th Avenue North.

The largest percentage of homes in Crescent Heights was built in the 1920’s and 1930’s, and range from Florida Bungalows, Frame Vernacular, Colonial Revival and a smattering of Mediterranean Revival, just to name a few. Most of the homes include such amenities as pine or oak flooring, large eaves, front porches and uniquely built-in features such as custom cabinets flanking brick fireplaces. Many homes are two bedroom Bungalows, however, large two story three and four bedroom homes are also common. In recent years, Crescent Heights has started attracting buyers who are attracted by all that the neighborhood has to offer and wish to refurbish homes that are available at a reasonable price.
