Wesley Heights and the West End: Understanding the Neighborhood Differences

Six neighborhoods, different histories. Why naming the place matters.

Updated 2026-10-18

'West End' is a useful umbrella, but Wesley Heights, Seversville, Smallwood, Lincoln Heights, Biddleville, and Enderly Park each have their own story, street patterns, and housing.

  • Wesley Heights: early-twentieth-century homes, a local historic district.
  • Biddleville: a historic Black neighborhood named for the school that became JCSU.
  • Seversville: west toward Stewart Creek, with significant new construction.
  • Smallwood: sometimes paired with Biddleville in city usage.
  • Lincoln Heights and Enderly Park: distinct neighborhoods with their own identities.
