About
حقائق سريعة: Rows of colorful Victorian and Craftsman houses line shaded streets, many showing original stained-glass windows and carved wooden porches that photographers love to capture. A tree-filled central park offers a bandstand, fountain, and seasonal farmers' market that regularly draws about 400 locals on weekend mornings.
النقاط البارزة: Locals stage an autumn porch-decorating contest that packs the block each October, drawing around 1,500 visitors who stroll past carved balustrades and listen to cello music under string lights. Legend holds that an 8-foot-tall palm behind one house sheltered a secret meeting of early civic leaders, a story you can almost hear in the rustle of leaves near the old stone fountain.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and a hat, some sidewalks are uneven and shade is patchy.
- Bring a camera with a short telephoto or zoom for stained glass and ornate porch details.
- Start at Smiley Park and do a short loop along the main residential streets to see highlights without backtracking.
- Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid lawn maintenance, school drop-off times, and the loudest street noise.
