The headline here is longevity of inventory. Homes date from 1929 through 2023, with the median landing in 1975, so you'll encounter original mid-century floor plans alongside renovated and newer builds. The median living area of about 1,922 square feet points to genuinely livable footprints rather than starter-sized boxes, but square footage says little about what's behind the walls - plumbing, electrical, roofs, and HVAC vary enormously across this age range, and that's where diligence pays off.

Deed restrictions are the one reported community amenity, which sets expectations for upkeep and conformity. With a homestead share around 71%, this reads as a predominantly owner-occupied community rather than an investor-heavy one. Verify current restrictions and any HOA details before you write an offer; the rules governing what you can change on the exterior will matter as much as the home's bones.

In a community this spread out by age and condition, with a single active listing and limited recent closings, pricing and inspection strategy are everything. We help sellers position to condition instead of chasing a vintage-blind comp, and we help buyers read a 1970s or older home honestly - what's cosmetic, what's structural, and what the deed restrictions will and won't let you change.
