Small, single-family homes that were primarily built in the mid-1900s, houses on Elm Street are the sort that get advertised as "fixer-uppers." There are a lot of rental homes here, the two-and-three bedroom properties run-down and in need of attention. Interiors are usually dated, with hardwoods that are nicked and dented or carpeting that could stand to be ripped out and replaced. Many are stuck with just one bathroom, though a few have taken advantage of partial basements to create tiny mother-in-law suites. The yards are pocket-sized, and only a few of them even have a garage - always detached, always single car. Vinyl siding on the exteriors almost always wants to be replaced.
