The defining trait here is the spread. A build range from 1955 to 2017 with a 1983 median tells you this is not a single-era subdivision — you will find mid-century homes, later infill, and newer construction sharing the same neighborhood. That variety rewards buyers who inspect carefully and read each property on its own terms.

At about 2,562 square feet median living area, floor plans tend toward the roomy end. Roughly 85% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to a largely owner-occupied street rather than a rental-heavy block — a signal worth weighing if long-term stability of the surrounding properties matters to you.

In a pocket this small with this much construction-era variety, comps are not interchangeable. We price and evaluate on condition, era, and actual updates rather than a headline range — which is how you avoid overpaying for an unrenovated home or underpricing one that has been modernized.

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