The area features a mix of Victorian, Queen Anne, and Second Empire homes, with some American Foursquare and Craftsman styles. They’re often brightly colored and have additional storage accessible via back alleys. While many homes have been restored, others still require renovation, with city incentives available to assist homeowners.
