With 101 homes and a homestead share near 67%, this is a settled neighborhood that does not churn much. That stability shows up in the listing count: at the snapshot date there was a single active home. Low turnover tends to keep well-kept homes tightly held, so inventory arrives in ones and twos rather than in waves.

The wide build range, from 1947 through 2024, is the thing to underwrite. A median year built of 1966 means most of the housing stock predates modern construction standards, and buyers should budget diligence for roofs, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The newer builds scattered in show the area does support tear-down and rebuild, which is part of why price tracks condition so closely here rather than a single tidy range. No community amenities were identified from current MLS listings, so value is in the homes and the location, not shared facilities.

In a neighborhood this thin on data, the comps do most of the lying and the details do most of the truth-telling. We read condition, age of systems, and permit history against a median build year of 1966 so you are pricing the actual home in front of you, not a neighborhood average. With one active listing and only two recent closings, timing and readiness matter more than usual, and that is exactly the kind of low-volume market where local judgment earns its keep.
