A lively village atmosphere is one of the factors that attract so many artists and professionals. Residents feel "the hill" offers them a unique kind of urban life and for that reason there is a deep sense of community pride.

Most of the box-like brick and frame homes, constructed firmly into the hillside, have been beautifully renovated. The addition of new sidewalks, new street lights and new trees gives a stylish look to the area.
