The tree-lined streets bend and curve, often connecting or ending in cul-de-sacs, which help cut down on traffic and noise, and wide sidewalks make the neighborhood accessible by foot. Prices range from $760,000 for 1,300 square feet to $1.5 million for 2,900 square feet. Townhouses and condos throughout the neighborhood offer prices ranging from $365,000 for 1,100 square feet to $590,000 for 1,300 square feet.
