'''Castle Heights''' is a small [residential neighborhood](/source/residential_neighborhood) in northwest [Geneva, New York](/source/Geneva%2C_New_York). It is known for its architecturally diverse [homes](/source/house) and plots of land larger than those in other [neighborhood](/source/neighborhood)s in the city. Formerly referred to as "Maxwell Highland," Castle Heights displays characteristics of the [outskirts](/source/suburbia) of many other small American cities that prospered before and after [World War II](/source/World_War_II).

The neighborhood has tree-lined streets and wide [sidewalk](/source/sidewalk)s, and has been described by residents as a "walkable" part of town. The [demographic](/source/demographic) of Castle Heights has historically been mostly professional and [white-collar](/source/white-collar_worker) workers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://genevanrc.org/n_maxwellhighland.htm |title=Castle Heights |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date= |website=genevanrc.org |publisher= |access-date= |quote=}}</ref>

== Paper street ==
Edgewood Street, in the neighborhood of Castle Heights, is a "[paper street](/source/paper_street)": It exists on maps of the neighborhood, but is completely undeveloped. The lots of land on this street were divided in too-small parcels for a more recent [rezoning](/source/rezoning) by the legislature; this prevents them from being individually developed today.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://castleheightsgeneva.weebly.com/map.html |title=Map - Castle Heights |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date= |website=castleheightsgeneva.weebly.com |publisher= |access-date= |quote=}}</ref>

== Neighborhood Association ==
Since the Geneva Neighborhood Resource Center's recent establishment of the name Castle Heights, an informal group of [residents](/source/residency_(domicile)) have gathered to form the Castle Heights [Neighborhood Association](/source/Neighborhood_association). These residents meet semi-regularly to discuss important matters in the [community](/source/community), and to organize various neighborhood events.

== Annual picnic ==
Castle Heights has also in recent years begun a tradition of a yearly [picnic](/source/picnic) at the beginning of summer.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://castleheightsgeneva.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/8/9/7289387/chpicnicflyer.pdf |title=Neighborhood Association Annual Picnic |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date= |website=heightsgeneva.weebly.com |publisher= |access-date= |quote=}}</ref>
