From the Candler Park Neighborhood Association: Most houses in Candler Park are detached single-family dwellings, although there are also early 20th-century multi-family dwellings and larger apartment complexes dating to the mid-20th century. Craftsman bungalows from the 1910s–1930s dominate much of the neighborhood along with a number of other architectural types and styles, including the earlier Queen Anne and Folk Victorian one- and two-story houses, American Four-Square houses, and American Small Houses from the 1940s. A growing appreciation for the amenities of in-town living, particularly in attractive, walkable, historic neighborhoods with access to good schools, such as the Candler Park neighborhood, and changes in the housing market, have shaped residential development in the area. The mid-2000s housing boom produced a spike in the number of older homes in Candler Park being demolished and replaced by much larger, more expensive homes. The pace of infill development slowed after 2008 due to the nationwide housing bust and recession.
