Cameron Park Historic District

Cameron Park, now Forest Park, is a historic neighborhood just west of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, one of three suburbs platted in the early 20th century.

Cameron Park's developers used restrictive deed covenants that set minimum house prices, created setbacks from the street, and excluded African Americans from living in the neighborhood (except as live-in domestic employees).

Advertisements for Cameron Park openly recruited socially ambitious upper-middle class residents to the neighborhood, and land and house values were significantly higher than those of other early suburbs.

Despite the stylistic variety, houses were uniformly large and upscale for the era.
