The residential portion, centered on Park Avenue, is to the south of “Historic Automobile Row,” with its over twenty car dealerships.
To the south of the neighborhood’s residences, is a former industrial section, still apparent, with its many, mostly-empty warehouses, and overgrown spur railroad tracks.
Along Erie Boulevard, the southern boundary-road, much of the former industrial presence has been replaced with modern commercial office buildings.
This neighborhood is full of businesses that are owned by, and cater to, Spanish speaking clients.
Meaker Food Company Warehouse, Harriet May Mills House, St. Paul's Armenian Apostolic Church, Alton Simmons House, and West Brothers Knitting Company are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
