The defining fact about this community is its age range: homes here span from 1925 to 2023, but the median year built of 1968 means most of the stock is decades old. Combined with a median living area of just 1,083 square feet, this is a market of modest-footprint homes where the year of construction and the condition of the unit matter more than typical comparable-sales logic. Two homes on the same street can carry very different values depending entirely on how each has been maintained or updated.

A homestead share of 59.2% indicates a solid majority of homes here are owner-occupied under Florida's homestead exemption, with a meaningful share not carrying that exemption. No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, which means buyers should treat this as a straightforward housing market rather than one built around shared recreational features. At a median 148 days on market, current listings are not moving quickly, which gives buyers leverage on price and terms if they are willing to do their own due diligence on individual unit condition.

Manufactured home transactions carry their own paperwork, financing, and inspection considerations that differ from standard site-built sales, and with a housing stock ranging from 1925 to 2023 vintage in this community, knowing what to check on an individual unit matters. We track how long listings actually sit here, at a current median of 148 days, so we can help sellers price to move and help buyers know when they have real negotiating room.
