Castle Heights, a small residential neighborhood in Northwest Geneva, New York, is known for its architecturally diverse homes and larger land plots than other neighborhoods in the city. Formerly referred to as "Maxwell Highland," Castle Heights displays characteristics of the outskirts of many other small American cities that prospered before and after World War II. The neighborhood has tree-lined streets, wide sidewalks, and has been described by residents as a "walkable" part of town. The demographic of Castle Heights has historically been a more professional, white-collar group.

Paper Street
