QUIZ: Do You Know Where These New York City Houses Are Located?

By DNAinfo Staff | July 5, 2016 5:38pm 

Though New York is often considered a vertical city with densely populated apartment buildings, the five boroughs have their share of houses.

In fact, nearly 40 percent of all residential units in the city can be found in one- to four-family homes — with more than 525,000 single-family homes (whether freestanding or semi-detached) and an estimated 460,000 two-family homes, according to a Department of City Planning analysis of census data.

We asked our neighborhood reporters to take pictures of some of their favorite houses gracing the streets they cover.

Can you guess where they are?
