Most of the homes are double homes like these (like a duplex but nicer than the ones in the U.S.).  Notice the front doors right next to one another and each owner has chosen a different door.  Sometimes the home will be a different color or different roof divided down the middle.  I especially like the windows that usually have a vase of flowers or some single item displayed.  Once in a while a cat is displaying itself on the ledge.  Many people hedge themselves off and you cannot see the homes.  Most at least have a gate, stone or brick wall, or something to hide behind or offer some privacy--especially because many homes are sitting right on the street.  This color of brick is on the majority of homes and I love the look.  It seems solid and the older places still look nice.
