The defining fact here is the age curve. A median build year of 1959 inside a range that runs from 1900 to 2024 tells you two things at once: much of the inventory is genuinely old, and pockets of newer or fully rebuilt construction sit alongside it. That combination produces a wide value spread within a small area. The question that matters most is not the block — it is the roof, the electrical, the plumbing, and whether the kitchen and baths have been redone.

Footprints run small, with a median around 1,355 square feet, so buyers looking for space will often be buying a project or an addition rather than a larger existing home. The homestead share just over half suggests a blend of long-held owner-occupied homes and property held under other arrangements, which can mean a mix of well-kept houses and homes that have gone a while without updates. Diligence on inspections and system age is where the real negotiating leverage lives.

In a neighborhood where two similar-looking houses can be priced very differently based on what is behind the walls, our job is to read condition against price and tell you which listings are fairly asked and which are asking you to fund the renovation. We help sellers position an updated home so the work shows in the number, and we help buyers avoid overpaying for a house that still needs a roof, wiring, or plumbing.

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