Home styles range from Tudors to midcentury duplexes

In addition to brick and Lannon stone Tudors, Grasslyn Manor features midcentury Cape Cods, ranch-style homes and two-family duplexes. Many of the oldest properties have classic details like leaded glass windows and stone fireplaces. Detached garages back into rear alleys, keeping streets relatively clear of parked cars. Well-shaded sidewalks are all over the neighborhood, encouraging foot travel. The median sale price is in the high $100,000s, and prices generally range from the lower $100,000s to the lower $300,000s. This puts Grasslyn Manor in line with communities like Capitol Heights and Dineen Park, but makes it generally less expensive than Sunset Heights.
