A thorough mixture of the classic and the modern
Though new homes are developed regularly, the area is best known for its turn of 20th-century architecture, including centennial-aged Cape Cods, National, American Foursquare and Craftsman-style homes. Ubiquitous sidewalks cut through modest front yards, encouraging social openness between pedestrians and neighborhood porch sitters. Driveways are uncommon, meaning street parking is the norm in most sections of town. The area's older homes are in varied states of maintenance, though many of the most dilapidated were torn down during the flood of 2008. Historical houses needing considerable restoration start in the low $50,000s, while modest-sized buildings and fixer-uppers go in the mid-$100,000s. Fully restored or more modern homes make it into the mid-$200,000s.
Taylor's Foursquare homes stand out with their distinctive and iconic style.
The quaint appeal of Cape Cod-style homes adds timeless elegance to the Taylor neighborhood.
