The neighborhood is almost entirely residential and full of beautiful, classic homes, most built during the coveted mid-century. It is a well established neighborhood with large lots and homes with character. Many neighbors have lived in the neighborhood since their homes were built, and as a result, has a very friendly, neighborly vibe.
