The defining trait here is age spread. A median build year of 1959 tells you the center of gravity is mid-century, but the 1913-to-2022 range means you will tour homes with original bones next to ground-up newer construction. That variety rewards buyers who can evaluate roofs, systems, and prior renovation quality, and it makes a single price generalization unreliable.

Owner-occupancy runs a little under half, with a homestead share around 46%. Practically, that points to a blend of long-held homes and non-homestead ownership, which can affect available inventory and how aggressively individual homes are priced. In a neighborhood this size, a handful of listings can shift the tone quickly, so timing and current comps matter.

In a pocket where homes span more than a century of construction, the value is in reading each property correctly — systems, prior work, and how it truly compares. We price and evaluate on condition and real comparables, not a blanket neighborhood figure, and we will tell you plainly when a specific home does not fit your goals.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
