The defining trait here is age spread. A median year built of 1995 sits almost exactly between the oldest homes from 1939 and new construction as recent as 2023. That is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood; it is a layered one, and it rewards buyers who read each property on its own terms rather than assuming the community sets a single standard.

Owner-occupancy is high — roughly 89 percent of the 56 homes carry a homestead exemption. Practically, that points to a community held by long-term owners rather than short-term investors, which tends to mean fewer listings turning over at once and homes that have been lived in and maintained rather than flipped. Expect limited inventory and the need to move deliberately when the right home appears.

A community this varied in vintage and condition is where a sharp read matters most. We help you separate a genuinely updated 1995 home from a refreshed 1939 one, price condition honestly against the roughly $2,544-square-foot median footprint, and time an offer in a low-turnover, high-homestead market where the right listing does not sit long.
