Hilltop Victorian estates

With hilltop homes and walkable residential streets, Lowry Hill is known for its architecture. Designed by a collection of famed architects from the turn of the century, the homes here reflect various styles, including Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, Italianate, English Tudors and Prairie-style homes. Many homes are Victorian houses built as early as 1900, with several listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While some have been divided into duplexes, triplexes and even quadruplexes, many remain single-family homes. Several of these classic homes are large estates, some offering lakefront views. There are also more contemporary homes, like midcentury modern houses, ramblers and condominiums. Condo buildings come in the form of sleek, modern mid-rise buildings and older, historic buildings that have been converted into units. Home prices in the area range from $98,500 to $4.4 million.
