Elm Park
The park shapes everything here.

Elm Park organizes itself around the park as European cities organize themselves around cathedrals — with reverence, and with an understanding that the open space at the center is what makes everything around it worthwhile. The Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis that line the park's perimeter are among the most graciously proportioned in the city. On summer mornings, the park fills with people who chose to live here precisely for this. The rest of the neighborhood exists quietly in service of that central fact.
