high Victorian flare. Could they use a proofreader or is this some decorative phrase of which I'm unaware?

Heh heh. Sounds like someone not used to writing about cities, grabbing at a fistful of half-noticed clichés to tackle a new assignment. Cities are sprawling; nice cities have a wealth of treasures; mention something Victorian that sounds nice, what's that F-word they use?... In correct English, sprawling, in real-estate contexts, describes land use that chews up a lot of land, often with low-density structures or production systems. Los Angeles is sprawling, San Francisco is not. Penn's campus could be described as sprawling, by comparison with Drexel's. The King Ranch in Texas could be described as sprawling, by comparison with an Amish farm in Lancaster Co. It's a metaphor that connotes expanding and spreading out all over. If Spruce Hill began to stick out feelers into neighboring communities, annexing tidbits of Cedar Park and Walnut Hill and West Powelton ... then it might qualify as sprawling. -- Tony I was wondering what it means for a neighborhood to be sprawling?
