Predominantly featuring Traditional-style homes with mono-color siding and low-pitched roofs, the area offers a mix of single and two-story houses, as well as duplexes. Larger lots and tree-lined backyards are common, particularly on the east side past State Route 2, while the west side is closer to industrial and shopping complexes.
