Harlem and Hamilton Heights are experiencing a sustained wave of brownstone renovation, with owner-occupants investing in rear garden and stoop terrace design that matches the quality of their interior renovations. The neighborhood's stock of Italianate and Renaissance Revival townhouses provides a strong architectural context for planting and hardscape design that respects the historic character of the streetscape.
