The defining fact here is the spread of the housing. A median build year of 1962 tells you the core of this market is mid-century construction, but the 1900-to-2024 range means you will also encounter early-century homes and the occasional new build. That variety is the story: floor plans, lot sizes, and system ages differ sharply from one address to the next, and a median living area around 1,665 square feet sits comfortably in the range of a typical mid-century footprint.

With 214 homes in this snapshot, there is enough inventory to be selective, but you have to shop with your eyes open. Older stock rewards inspection — foundation, plumbing, electrical, and roof age matter more than curb appeal. The upside is real: a well-maintained or thoughtfully updated home in this range can be a strong value against newer, farther-out product, provided you have verified what you are buying.

In a market where value hinges on condition rather than a neighborhood price tier, our job is to help you read each home honestly — what has been updated, what is deferred, and what that means for your offer or your list price. We know the difference between a home that is priced for its bones and one that is priced for its potential, and we will tell you which is which.

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