Grant Park is a place of beautiful historic homes in which many long-time residents have religiously preserved its hedgerows and lacework. The abundance of historic houses feature Victorian Mansions and tidy bungalows from the 1920s era. Some homes are a walking distance to the park and residents enjoy strolling in brick sidewalks and heavily shaded trees. It still maintains a small-town charm and more affordable housing choices are available from townhomes, apartments, to single family residences. Grant Park is best to visit in the summer with its lush scenery, playground, and swimming pool, live musicians, and local art vendors.
