Initially called Parkside Place, this development was created by the Parkside Land Company. Reinforcing its connection to Daffin Park, the north-south streets are named after trees—Live Oak, Cedar, Ash, and Hickory. Less affluent than Ardsley Park and Chatham Crescent to its west, Parkside was a middle-class streetcar suburb. A few sizable Colonial Revival and American foursquare houses occupy the northwest corner of the development, but most of the houses are Craftsman bungalows (concentrated in the western half), Cape Cod cottages (found throughout), and ranch-style houses (set in the eastern half of the district).
