What Cleveland Park can double for
Ditmas Park in Brooklyn, New York
Ditmas Park is a historic district of largely residential buildings put up between 1902 and 1914. Many are free-standing single family houses with gables and front porches. Victorian homes line its north-south streets. Cortelyou Road is one of its commercial strips, the role Connecticut Avenue plays in Cleveland Park. Tudor and Japanese Cottage houses sit among its Queen Anne ones, so a close frame on one porch holds the match better than a wide view of the street. Try searching Victorian houses with porches now.
Most of Rosedale's houses are single family detached homes. Many are at least a century old, and the styles run from Edwardian and Tudor to the more common Victorian. Its streets wind through cul de sacs, shaded by an abundance of trees. Rosedale's ravines and convoluted streets give Toronto away in an aerial or valley shot, so keep the frame on the street frontage. Try searching Edwardian detached houses now.
