Townhouses in this area span a wide gamut of architectural styles and locales. Some of the units were originally constructed in the 18th century, and have been remodeled into gorgeous contemporary spaces. Other units bear a much more recent construction date, and have been designed to feature the latest in technology and other modern accoutrements. Whether the home is located in the heart of Old Town or farther afield near the vast nature preserves, the dwellings in this area do have one thing in common, which is an emphasis on quality, comfort, and spaciousness.

Most of the homes are located on their own lot, with a half to a full acre of land surrounding the structure. A grand gravel walkway leading to the front door is common. The home itself is usually two floors, and has a colonial style front, with brick or vinyl siding. The front door opens into a small hallway that can double as a foyer for hanging hats and placing jackets on hooks. The central living area opens up on one side, and the dining and kitchen area opens up on the other. The kitchen is usually designed in an U or L-shaped configuration, with granite countertops, state of the art appliances, and a prominent lighting fixture providing illumination to the space. Hardwood floors are common, and the cabinets over the main food preparation areas can be made of a dark oak or a special white-painted wood that both stores all of the cutlery and plates while providing an elegant visual appearance.

The central living area frequently has a built-in shelving unit that can be used as a bookcase or as a display for art objects. The numerous windows provide excellent lighting, while a fireplace tends to anchor the space, providing a place for an assortment of objects and photographs. A central staircase often is located directly off the central living space, and leads to the second story, which is full of bedrooms and bathrooms. In many of these units, additional bedrooms have been converted into office spaces, studios, or libraries. Depending on the year of construction, fireplaces may be present in multiple rooms, including individual bedrooms. Many renovations choose to preserve these fireplaces.

The bedrooms are often roomy, with a walk-in closet and direct access to a bathroom. The master bedroom in particular may feature enough room for a small arrangement of furniture, such as a couch, a few chairs, and a desk or dresser. The master bathroom tends to be a study in luxury, with a shower stall and a stand alone bathtub offering the resident multiple bathing options. The mirrors here may be oval or rectilinear, but usually are lit with custom fixtures that bring out the gorgeous sheen of the marble countertops.
