Historic Downtown

Brimming with distinctive character, the downtown district has been a hub of community life since Cedar Hill was founded in 1846. Historic Downtown is home to unique restaurants, charming shops, and vibrant special events. The city continues to invest in the vitality of the downtown area through infrastructure improvements, events and programming, and economic development support.
Downtown Street Improvements
In 2023, the city completed the first phase of street improvements to activate public spaces in the downtown area with wider sidewalks, new street lighting, and additional landscaping. The second phase is currently in design with construction planned to begin in 2025. Phase 2 will continue improvements on Broad Street, construct new public parking, and build a new linear park.
