The defining fact here is age and variety. A median build year of 1955 with the oldest homes dating to 1909 means original systems, foundations, and layouts are the norm, not the exception. The presence of homes as new as 2020 shows infill development happens, but it does not dominate. Expect to evaluate roof, wiring, plumbing, and structure on a house-by-house basis rather than assuming a neighborhood standard.

At a median of roughly 1,123 square feet, these are small homes. That keeps the entry cost of ownership contained and makes the neighborhood workable for buyers who want a manageable footprint or a rehab project. With under 25% of homes owner-occupied, an investor-minded buyer will find a market already tilted toward rentals — which cuts both ways on comps and condition.

A neighborhood this old and this uneven rewards a broker who reads each house on its own terms. We help buyers separate a solid older home from a deferred-maintenance trap, and we help sellers of renovated properties position against a field where condition varies wildly. In a 57-home market where the numbers hide as much as they reveal, that on-the-ground read is the whole game.

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