[2] The Beaver Hills Historic District covers 97 acres (39 ha) of the neighborhood north of Goffe Street and east of Ella Grasso Boulevard.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and included 235 contributing buildings.
[3] The listing recognized the district's significance as a nearly intact example of an early 20th-century suburban residential subdivision.
One feature of note was the presence of "one of the city's best collections of early 20th-century garages."
The district includes brick gateway piers at the intersections of Goffe Terrace with Norton Parkway and with Ellsworth Avenue, at the south end of the district.
