Sought-after enclave of 20th-century Colonial Revivals and more
Cobbs Hill's streets are lined with sidewalks and modest lawns shaded by mature trees, giving the neighborhood a suburban feel. "The area is very established," says Dana Mancuso, an associate broker with Howard Hanna with more than 10 years of experience. "It's very walkable, very sought-after." Most single-family homes were built between the late 19th and 20th centuries. Architectural styles vary, though American Foursquares and Colonial Revivals are most common, along with the occasional Tudor Revival. Painted clapboard siding, white trim and covered porches are common across styles. Prices typically range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$600,000s. The median sale price is in the low $400,000s, lower than East Avenue but nearly double that of Upper Monroe.
Tudor-style homes in Cobbs Hill reflect architectural styles from the 1920's and 30's.
Cobbs Hill offers an eclectic mix of housing styles from American Foursquare to Colonial Revivals.

Exploring Cobb's Hill Park and Washington Grove
Cobb's Hill Park is the heart of the community. "The park is always very busy and active," says Erin Kruss , a real estate professional with Keller Williams Realty with more than 10 years of experience. "It's a huge draw for homebuyers." Spanning more than 100 acres, the park includes a playground, dog park and softball diamonds. Lake Riley is popular for fishing, while the Cobb's Hill Reservoir is bordered by a paved loop used for walking and jogging. "People skate in the winter," Mancuso says. "If you get nice weather, you'll find people sunbathing, playing frisbee with their dogs — it's that kind of environment."
Washington Grove is a 26-acre sanctuary featuring centuries-old oak trees and a diverse array of bird species, including Blackburnian warblers and hairy woodpeckers. Trails lead uphill, offering sweeping city views. At ground level, the Cobbs Hill Water Tanks are known for their rotating graffiti murals.
