It's a great combination of a neighborhood that's leafy but still walkable to all kinds of award-winning restaurants," McAulay says. "It's nice because you can be out walking or jogging and say hi to neighbors sitting on their porch." Many of these houses were built in the early and mid-1900's, constructed with multicolored stone or brick and accented with intricate woodwork and ornate facades.
