Each of those seven blocks contains up to 30 or so single rowhouses, mostly in a Colonial Revival style of architecture.

The two-story rowhouses were made of brick and have an asymmetrical roof. It’s also possible to find a renovated Cape Cod in the neighborhood, which has likely been updated with some of the latest and most modern features and finishes.
