The build range from 1977 to 2022 means you are shopping across generations of construction under one community name. Systems, layouts, and finishes vary sharply from one home to the next, and that is where the value question lives. The median build year of 1998 puts the middle of this inventory at an age where roofs, HVAC, and kitchens have often been touched at least once — verify what has actually been done rather than assuming.

At a median of about 1,702 living square feet, these are right-sized homes rather than sprawling ones. The high homestead share — roughly three in four homes — signals a stable, lived-in community with less speculative activity. That stability tends to keep listings measured and gives serious buyers room to do proper diligence.

In a community this small with such a wide build range, comps are only useful once you adjust for condition — and that is exactly the work we do before quoting you a number. We will walk a specific home against its true peers, flag deferred maintenance that changes the math, and tell you plainly when a listing is priced on hope rather than on what it is.

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