The defining number in this dataset is the year-built range: 1960 to 2023. That's over six decades of construction sitting in one 150-home footprint, with a median year built of 2000 splitting the market roughly down the middle. Practically, this means two very different buying experiences under one community name — an older home that may need updated systems and finishes, or a newer build closer to current code and layout standards. Buyers need to treat each listing as its own case rather than assuming a uniform build era.

Median living area lands just under 1,750 square feet, a mid-size footprint that suggests this isn't a market of oversized new construction or micro-lots — it's a working range of standard single-family sizes. Combined with the lack of identified community amenities, the case for buying here rests on the individual property and its lot, not a shared recreational draw. That's a market where inspection findings and renovation history carry more weight in negotiations than they would in a newer, amenity-heavy subdivision.

In a community spanning six decades of construction with no shared amenity baseline, pricing a home correctly means reading each property on its own merits — age, condition, and update history — rather than leaning on a community-wide comp story. That's the kind of block-by-block, house-by-house read we do before a listing goes live or an offer goes in.
