The Near South Tour of Homes takes place every two years and showcases a variety of neighborhood homes. This year’s tour will be on Mother’s Day weekend 2025.
Right now, we’re seeking properties to feature on the tour and sponsors. Your participation would help us continue to make the Near South a thriving and beautiful place, especially as we look to address the restoration of our tree canopy after recent wind storms.
See below for more information on each opportunity.
VIP Tour - Saturday, May 10, 2025 (limited to 50 total tickets)
General Tour - Sunday, May 11, 2025 (Mother’s Day)
Here are some often asked questions that participants have in regards to offering their home to be on a tour:
Your house doesn’t have to be historic or a mansion to be on the tour. People like to see all types of homes, and this year we’re including apartments and rental homes as well. If you have a space in the neighborhood you’d like to show off, we want to hear from you.
Homes do not need to be in pristine condition. People love to see ‘restorations in progress’.
You determine where the flow of traffic goes, sometimes it may only be the first floor.
Docents are stationed in all rooms, and a House Captain is assigned to each house.
We provide all volunteers; also you can provide ushers if you wish.
To protect your floors and carpets from foot traffic, booties can provided or people remove their shoes.
The Tour is 4 hours on Sunday, May 11, 2025 from 1 – 5 pm.
In the past we have also sponsored a VIP Tour on Saturday night [limited to 50 people].
NSNA has insurance to cover our events. If you have specific questions about this please note them below.
