What the houses are like in The Hill

Mostly built: 1900s to 1930s

Small, immaculately kept brick houses on narrow lots, built tight to the sidewalk in the city's Italian neighborhood. Compact footprints, shallow front yards and well-used rear yards and alleys.

Houses here are famously well maintained, so the work is usually precise and small in scale rather than sprawling.
