 Boston-Edison/Virginia Park 
The Boston-Edison Historic District is a historic neighborhood located in the geographic center of Detroit, Michigan. It consists of over 900 homes built on four east/west streets: West Boston Boulevard, Chicago Boulevard, Longfellow Avenue, and Edison Avenue, stretching from Woodward Avenue on the east to Linwood Avenue on the west. It is one of the largest residential historic districts in the nation. It is surrounded by Sacred Heart Major Seminary to the west, the Arden Park-East Boston Historic District and the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament to the east, and the Atkinson Avenue Historic District to the south. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

The Virginia Park Historic District is located in Detroit, Michigan, along both sides of Virginia Park Avenue from Woodward Avenue to the John C. Lodge Freeway access road. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

In the latter part of the 19th century, the population of Detroit grew substantially, enough so that developers began looking north of Grand Boulevard for land to subdivide. In 1893, Virginia Park was platted with 92 relatively small lots. Requirements ensured that only well-to-do businessmen and professionals could afford to erect a home in the neighborhood. Most of the homes were built between 1893 and 1915. Architectural styles represented in the neighborhood include Tudor, Neo-Georgian, Bungalow and Arts and Crafts.
