The Rosedale neighborhood began from farm and dairy land inthe 1860's. In the 1900s, four florists and nurseries found theirhome in this area. Much of the nursery stock planted during thattime remains, as witnessed by the many large and lovely treesin the neighborhood.
The majority of the homes in the Rosedale area were built duringthe 1930s and 1940s, giving them an allure not found with newerconstruction. The many renovation projects and new constructionthroughout the neighborhood lend a sense of vitality and renewal.The population of the neighborhood is a fabulous blend of youngfamilies, single professionals, and original owners who raisedtheir children here and have many tales to tell.
