The single most useful number here isn't an average — it's the range. A build span from 1918 to 2024 inside one 369-home community means the usual shortcuts don't apply. Two houses on the same street can be separated by a century of construction methods, systems, and layout conventions, and that shows up directly in inspection reports, insurance quotes, and renovation scope.

Median living area sits at 1,319 square feet, which reads as a compact, efficient footprint typical of earlier-era construction, though the homes built toward the newer end of the range are likely to depart from that norm. No community amenities are currently identified in MLS data for this neighborhood, so the draw here is the housing stock and location itself, not shared recreational infrastructure.

In a community with this much construction-era variance, the difference between a fair deal and an expensive mistake usually comes down to how carefully a specific house is vetted against its actual age and condition rather than a neighborhood average. We walk buyers through what a 1918 build versus a 2020s build actually means for systems, permitting history, and resale positioning, and we help sellers price against comparable vintage and condition rather than the whole 369-home spread.

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