The median living area of about 2,680 square feet is generous, and that size holds across a housing stock that started in the mid-1960s and stretched into 2019. Because the median year built lands at 1984, expect the bulk of homes to sit somewhere between original and updated. Systems, roofs, and layouts vary widely, so inspections and a clear read on deferred maintenance do more to protect you here than any headline number.

This is not a subdivision with a clubhouse or shared pool to prop up value, so pricing leans almost entirely on the individual home and its lot. That cuts both ways. A well-executed renovation can stand out in a market of mixed-vintage inventory, while a dated home has to be priced to condition, not to the neighbor's finished product.

A 42-home neighborhood with wide vintage spread and few clean comps is exactly where local pricing judgment earns its keep. We underwrite each house on condition and lot rather than leaning on a neighborhood average, and in a tightly held, owner-occupied pocket like this we help you read whether a listing is priced to its finishes or to the block.

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