About Northside Historic

District

Northside Historic District, located between Downtown Opelika and the Opelika Train Depot, is a historic and residential Opelika neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around North Railroad Avenue near the depot, where brick storefronts, patios, and gallery-style windows set a walkable, small-city rhythm. Architectural details lean toward preserved bungalows and cottage forms with deep porches and mature canopy trees. Community pillars include the Opelika Depot, the Museum of East Alabama, and the Opelika Center for the Performing Arts. Side streets read quieter, while the downtown edge carries café tables, event nights, and a steady hum from the rail line.
