While historic preservation is thought to have the economic value, and historic designation has become an important tool to preserve neighborhood, efforts have been made to investigate if historic districts have positive spillovers or restriction on property values in surrounding neighborhoods. Tainan city government formulated historic district related land use control and urban design guidelines in 2018. The purpose of this study is to examine the expected impact of historic district on regulated neighborhood and non-regulated neighborhood. This study employs hedonic price models to estimate local housing prices from 2013 to 2017 in Fucheng historic district. Results suggest that, to properties in the adjacent area of historic resources, that is, regulated area, the expecting costs is not more than benefits in every case. These findings indicate that to each historic resources, preservation could have negative or positive impact on local housing prices. Thus, the results have demonstrated that historic districts have both positive spillovers and restriction on property values in surrounding neighborhoods. In conclusion, the findings support the claim that historic preservation have the economic value, and this study has indicated that historic designation might have restriction on property values in surrounding neighborhoods.
