With a build range stretching from 1930 to 2018 and a median year built of 1960, Blockhouse Gardens holds everything from pre-war cottages to comparatively recent infill. That breadth matters: an aging roof, original electrical, or dated plumbing can define a home's value here more than any location factor. Inspect thoroughly, and price the work before you price the house.

The compact median of about 1,224 square feet keeps these homes attainable to work on and reposition, but it also caps how far a single addition or cosmetic pass can move the needle. The smartest plays are homes where the expensive, unglamorous systems are already handled — those tend to be the cleanest transactions on both sides.

In a neighborhood where condition dictates price, our job is to read each house honestly — what's been done, what's deferred, and what that means for your number. We'll walk the systems, not just the finishes, and price accordingly whether you're buying a project or selling a home you've already invested in.

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