Most Northeastern looking city outside of the Northeast (apartments, homes)

[hipcat]

When I mean northeastern looking. I mean similar to a city in the BosWash Corrider.

Which have these characteristics
Rowhomes
Ethnic Neighborhoods
Dense Urban Core
Public Transit

[nature's message]

I suppose Chicago, but even then, all of these cities are pretty distinctive in their own right.

New Orleans?
San Francisco?

Some of the 2 densest "east coast" feeling cities that are warm, not on the east coast, have palm trees, etc.

Not trying to pat myself on the back here but i think you'd be hard pressed to find better choices than New Orleans and San Fran

Ann Arbor, MI

Probably a tie between Cleveland and Chicago. San Francisco gets an honorable mention. The least Northeastern looking city of the list is Seattle.

Chicago, San Francisco then probably Richmond

What about Miami?

And Seattle looks more like a well-scrubbed Midwest city in parts in terms of the architecture, but it doesn't have the varying archiectural styles that make places like Los Angeles(Spanish/Moorish revival and Mediterranean elements along with older art deco or mid-century modern stuff) or New Orleans(Creole and Spanish/French architecture and Southern-style mansions) look different from East Coast cities... San Francisco sort of like East Coast in parts, but all in all it looks different as well.

Whereas, Seattle has a very sort of generic look to the actual architecture that looks similar to a lot of the country--old brick apartments and commerical buildings and craftsman homes, no real distinguishing styles--it's sort of a early 20th century city in most parts with a lot of newer modern infill.

st. louis by a mile. chicago has eastern features, but it has largely a prairie-style, quintessential midwest style. st. louis, being the oldest major city in the midwest, definitely has many parallels to baltimore and philadelphia. honorable mention goes to cincinnati.

Nah. It's dense but nothing like Northeast dense.

I'd say it's a race between Chicago, San Francisco, and St. Louis with Cincinatti an honorable mention.
