The defining fact about this community is its age spread. A median year built of 1922 puts a large share of the inventory near or past the century mark, while the range extending to 2023 shows infill and rebuilds have continued alongside the original housing stock. That combination means two homes on the same block can have almost nothing in common structurally — one may be original construction with a long renovation history, the other a ground-up modern build. Buyers need to evaluate each property on its own systems, permits, and updates rather than assuming neighborhood-wide consistency.

No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so whatever draws buyers here is the location and the housing stock itself, not shared recreational infrastructure. With a homestead share near 68%, most of the 94 homes are owner-occupied, which typically means listings surface individually rather than in clusters — worth planning for if you're timing a purchase or sale around available inventory.

In a small, age-diverse inventory like this one, generic comps do not hold up — we look at each home's actual construction era, renovation history, and lot characteristics before pricing or bidding, and we tell clients directly when a property's age or condition changes the calculus.

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