I know my neighbors by name, and I would never hesitate to ask them for help. Once, I was out shoveling snow and my neighbors came over to help me with it.”
Well-kept Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals
Most residential streets here are laid out on a grid, with homes on small lots behind narrow sidewalks. Houses feature simplistic details and traditional styles like Cape Cod and Colonial Revival. “They’re modest homes, by and large, but they’re well maintained,” Plaskon says.
