The build range runs from 1951 to 2020, but the median year built of 1963 tells you the core of this neighborhood is mid-century. That means original floorplans, older mechanicals, and the usual questions about roof, electrical, and plumbing on the un-renovated stock. The upside is space: a median around 2,249 square feet is generous for homes of this era, so there is room to renovate rather than add on.

With no community amenities identified in current MLS listings, you are buying the house and the location, not a gate or a clubhouse. The high homestead share — roughly 70% — points to a stable, owner-occupied street feel rather than a rental-heavy one. For a buyer, the practical work is inspection-driven: price the deferred maintenance honestly, because that is where value moves in a neighborhood this age.

In a neighborhood with no active listings and a wide condition spread, comps take real work. We break down what actually drove each recent sale — roof, systems, updates versus original — so you are not comparing a renovated 1963 home to an untouched one on square footage alone. On the sell side, we tell you which repairs earn their keep before you list and which do not.
