Traditional architecture highlights the village's "historic charm"
Traditional architecture is a hallmark of the village, which was developed primarily in the 1930s and '40s. Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals are common styles of homes. Spacious lots with well-maintained yards are shaded by mature trees. Side driveways leading to detached backyard garages are standard features.
The village has a “historic charm,” says longtime resident Mark Condon, who adds that the community is “safe enough for kids to play outside and for residents to enjoy leisurely walks, bike rides and exercise.” As a home-rule city, the village has its own mayor and city commission. In recent years, commissioners have organized a garden club, a book club and started a program to plant trees.
Small, brick-built homes are common in the community.
Lush lawns are seen throughout Brownsboro Village.
