It is a large area, covering about 122 acres (49 ha), bounded roughly on the north by Everett and Laurel Avenues, on the east by Blackstone Boulevard and Butler Avenue, on the west by Arlington Avenue, and on the south by Angell and South Angell Streets.

Most of the residential properties in the district are single-family houses, typically built in revival styles popular at the time.

They are set on similarly sized lots with fairly uniform setbacks, and were typically built without garages (which were often added later).

There are a number of two-family houses, and a few apartment buildings, most of which are found on the arterial roads of the area.
