Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals line quiet residential streets

Well-maintained sidewalks, generous setbacks and lush landscaping give this area a natural feel that residents love. You'll find homes dating back to the early-1900s, including stately Colonial Revivals, cozy cottages and steep-roofed Tudor Revivals.
