Options range from historic masonry buildings with marble entryways, mosaic tile and wood-beam ceilings to newer homes with open-concept layouts and in-unit laundry.

Home prices generally run from the low $200,000s to the mid-$700,000s, but condos and townhouses often stay in the mid-$100,000s to low $200,000s range.
