The year-built range tells the story: 1899 to 2024, with the median sitting at 1944. That spread means you will find century-old bungalows next to recently completed infill, and the two are not interchangeable. Pre-war homes carry the usual older-house questions — systems age, structural updates, and how sympathetically past renovations were done — while newer builds trade on modern efficiency. Pricing follows condition more than any single metric.

Living space skews compact at a median near 1,150 square feet, so this is a neighborhood of smaller homes rather than sprawling floor plans. The owner-occupancy picture is worth naming plainly: a homestead share of roughly 26% means most of these homes are not owner-occupied, which points to a meaningful rental and investment presence. That shapes both the pace of turnover and the kind of diligence a resident buyer should do.

In a neighborhood where an 1899 house and a 2024 build can share a block, the price only makes sense once you understand the condition behind it. We walk the houses, read the renovation history, and tell you which asking prices are supported by real work and which are hoping you won't ask. That is the difference between buying an older home well and inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance.
