Most homes were built before or around World War II
Dense residential blocks comprise most of Grasslyn Manor, its 4,600-plus residents mainly living in homes built before or around World War II. Tudor is the dominant style here, with dozens of homes featuring prominent chimneys and tasteful mixes of worn brick and stone masonry. Similar materials appear on a handful of Colonials and Cape Cods around the neighborhood, while others include vinyl, wood or aluminum siding. Many lots back up to rear alleys with detached garages, but with well-shaded sidewalks flanking virtually every street, you won’t need to fire up the car too often. While home values average in the mid-$100,000s here, you might find a Cape Cod under 800 square feet for less than $90,000. Pricier homes can reach the $315,000 mark, which might land you an impeccably maintained three-bedroom Tudor with 2,200-plus square feet.

Local spots include a boho café and a laid-back Jamaican eatery
A block or two from many residents is Sherman Perk Coffee Shop, one of Grasslyn Manor’s most recognizable landmarks. Its Art Deco trappings once housed a gas station built in 1939, which sat abandoned for over a decade before owners Bob and Patrice Olin saved it from demolition. It’s been the neighborhood’s favorite java stop ever since, welcoming patrons to enjoy its casual, bohemian-living-room vibe. “It’s a safe gathering place where people can come and have locally sourced products — coffee, tea and bakery. We also feature local artists and musicians here on a very regular basis,” says Bob Olin. Because of the unique architecture, he adds, “We’ve had a number of independent movies that have been shot here.” Several other locally owned restaurants pop up around the neighborhood, including Uppa Yard, an easygoing Jamaican joint offering dishes including jerk, curry and brown stew chicken, as well as full bar service.
