With 308 homes built across 1987 to 2005 and a median build year of 2003, you are buying into a mature neighborhood with mature landscaping and floor plans from that era. Roughly two-thirds of homes carry a homestead exemption, which tends to correlate with longer-term ownership and a resale market that turns over slowly. Amenities reported across MLS listings include a park, playground, and tennis courts, with deed restrictions governing the community. Verify current amenities and access with the HOA.

The median living area near 2,550 square feet means this is not a starter-home community, and the limited active count means selection is narrow at any given moment. Because the price spread is largely condition-driven, buyers should underwrite each home on its own updates and systems rather than on the community median alone.

With only a handful of active listings at a time and a 21-day median, timing and preparation decide outcomes here. We price sellers to live comps so a listing moves inside that window, and we move fast and underwrite condition carefully for buyers so you are not overpaying for a dated house or walking away from a well-kept one. We will also tell you plainly when the available inventory does not fit what you need.
