Located between Auburn Street (south), Fulton Avenue (north), Main Street (east) and Ridge Avenue (west), North End Square comprises approximately 1,300 households.
Over the decades, there have been many neighborhood-organization "starts" within this area. The present NESNA was founded in 1997 and has been one of the most effective neighborhood associations within the City. The reason for that ongoing success, in one word, is "participation." Neighborhood associations are successful when neighbors share dreams and visions, when they feel empowered to pursue these shared goals, and when they are active in pursuing them. We've been blessed with all three of those elements. If you live within our boundaries, but have not been part of that process, please join us by becoming a member!

Our Accomplishments
Recent NESNA accomplishments include:
- Beautification, including the planting of over 150 new parkway trees, the ongoing Huffman Boulevard flowers project, and securing $35,000 to fund “period” streetlights on Huffman Boulevard.
- Sidewalk Replacement. Through fundraisers, we have secured funding to help residents pay their portion, under the City’s 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program.
- Security, including the conduct of a comprehensive survey of neighborhood lighting, upgrade of all lights to modern technology, and the addition of more streetlights.
- Information, including the publication and distribution of our Quarterly Newsletter and the conduct of quarterly meetings, with topical guest speakers and refreshments. Our Aldermen and City officials attend these quarterly meetings.
- Web Site. NESNA's website was established in 2002. (You're there now!). It's merely another information medium to keep our residents informed. Information is power! Our website address is www.NorthEndSquare.com.
