Classic houses come in a variety of shapes and sizes

The neighborhood offers a snapshot of classic architecture, where you can find everything from a Cape Cod or a Craftsman bungalow to a midcentury modern ranch-style home. “It’s one of my favorite areas of town, really, for the architecture,” says Matt Kirkland, who’s the owner of The Matt Kirkland Group and Giving Realty and has about 20 years of industry experience. Many homes in 40th & A have been updated and vary in size from 600 to over 3,000 square feet. Residents are close to their neighbors, yet still have their own lawn space.
