When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting.

Corner bodegas, stores on the first floor and apartments above, former grand Victorian residences converted into apartments, three-deckers built shoulder-to-shoulder, duplexes.

Many are in older core neighborhoods of Eastern and Midwestern cities, or historic town centers in their hinterlands.
