The median living area sits around 1,773 square feet, which is a comfortable middle for the housing type here — not sprawling, not tight. But the more telling number is the age spread: a median year built of 1933 with the range running from 1900 to 2024. That tells you the inventory is a mix of original vintage homes, mid-century infill, and the occasional recent rebuild. Floor plans, ceiling heights, and mechanical systems vary accordingly, so cross-shopping requires reading each property on its own terms.

Owner-occupancy is a coin flip here, with a homestead share of about 53%. That is a meaningful anchor of long-term owners without the neighborhood tilting entirely one way, and it points to a market where turnover is measured rather than churning. Closings data comes from a narrow one-listing window as of mid-2026, so treat pace signals cautiously and lean on the property-level facts.

In a neighborhood where a 1900 original and a 2024 rebuild sit on the same tax roll, the value is in reading each house correctly — systems, roof, foundation, and update history. We price and negotiate off the actual condition in front of us, not a blended community average, and we will tell you plainly when a charming facade hides an expensive to-do list.
