This neighborhood has an inviting streetscape because the single-family detached homes are set close to the street, they have different yet compatible architectural features, and the garages are recessed.  The narrower street design with sidewalks on both sides slows traffic and encourages walking.  In addition, pedestrians are buffered from passing traffic by a wide tree lawn, and the trees will provide shade and a canopy overhead when they mature.  The houses have porches.  The porch has been called a “room without walls.”  They encourage socializing among neighbors and provide an in-between space to be outside.
