Every home here predates 1974, with the median built in 1966, so expect the realities of mid-century construction - original systems, layouts of the era, and a wide spread between homes that have been updated and those that have not. That spread is the single biggest variable in value, which is why the median price should be read as a midpoint across very different conditions rather than a going rate.

The homestead share sits at roughly 46 percent, meaning a meaningful slice of these 11 homes are not owner-occupied as primary residences. No community amenities are identified from current listings, so the draw is the location near Lake Elbert and the larger-than-average interior space, not shared facilities.

In an 11-home enclave with no active listings, you cannot shop by browsing - you win by knowing when something moves and by reading condition accurately against the median. We track this street closely, help you separate a cosmetic update from a systems overhaul on 1960s-era homes, and position you to act fast when inventory is this thin.
