Sitting in south Minneapolis, the houses, all tudor style and similar in looks, were built in the 1930s. Most of the two-story houses were built up on a hill that separates them from the street. They have stairs that lead up to them, along with an iron railing to guide any coming visitors. Each block is split down the middle by an alley, which leads numerous driveways and detached garages. My house, being one of the larger houses on the block, is surrounded by smaller houses and sits in the shade of a large spruce tree that is taller than the house.
A few blocks east is a block full of stores and restaurants. The tudors extend up a few blocks north of the Minnehaha Creek and the Minnehaha Parkway, and they end when the road is cut off by McRae Park and St. Joseph's Home for Children, which take up one block. Past this block is a cemetery, which also takes up one block. There is a transition in the size and cost of the houses in these two blocks, as the houses get smaller and cheaper.
