### Homewood[edit]

A historically significant area within Willard Hay, spanning from Penn to Xerxes Avenues North between Plymouth Avenue and Oak Park Avenue, is often referred to as Homewood. The State Historic Preservation Office deemed the district eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The area was settled primarily by Jewish families during the early 20th century.[6] Since then, it has been known for its racial diversity and affordability.[7] The City of Minneapolis began a formal review process for potential historic designation of the district in 2016.[8]
