With the help of <A href="http://www.preservationdirectory.com/" target=_blank>PreservationDirectory.com</A>, neighborhood groups, real estate agents, and preservation societies, This Old House compiled their list of the best places to track down, fix up, and fall head over heels for. The winning neighborhoods are also divided into categories such as Best for Bargains, Best for Urbanities, Best for Waterfront Views, and more. The National Association of REALTORS®, the voice of real estate, is the sponsor of the 2011 Best Old-House Neighborhoods list.</div>
