Mockingbird Valley

Developed in the 1920s, Mockingbird Valley was a middle-class community with deed restrictions and subdivision rules that guided its development. National suburban trends were rejected in favor of preserving character-defining features of historic cultural landscapes, pastoral settings, deep setbacks, and narrow lanes. It is important for its elements of rural character in suburban development. It was designed for rural living near the city and transit routes, with nearby schools, churches, and shops. The homes maintain architectural design integrity and quality building. Four hundred fifty acres were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. A Neighborhood Plan was approved by Metro Council in 2007. The Mockingbird Valley Preservation Alliance supported its preservation.
