Four Blocks Wide, One Mile Long
Roseland is a narrow town by design -- about four blocks wide and a mile long, incorporated in 1916 just a mile north of South Bend, with State Road 933 (Dixie Highway) running the length of it. Its location, wedged against the University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College, has shaped the town since its earliest days.
A Consistent Window Era Along Dixie Highway
Roseland's narrow four-block-wide footprint, built up steadily since its 1916 incorporation along the Dixie Highway corridor, means most of the town's housing dates to a fairly consistent early-to-mid-20th-century window era -- replacement work there usually deals with a fairly uniform range of original opening sizes rather than a wide mix of building periods.
