HISTORIC OAKWOOD: Oakwood is now one of Raleigh's tourist attractions. In recognition of Oakwood's importance as a valuable tangible reminder of Southern urban life during the 19th and 20th centuries, the neighborhood has been listed as an historic district in the National Register of Historic Places.  
The City of Raleigh designated Oakwood as its first “local historic district” in 1974 to ensure that the physical charm and special character of the neighborhood is maintained. As part of the “local historic district" designation, all exterior changes are subject to design review by the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission.
