The defining trait is variety within a small set. Build years run from 1966 to 2023, and the median year built of 1997 means you'll find both decades-old homes and recent construction. That range matters at the inspection table: expect meaningful differences in roofs, systems, and finishes from one address to the next.

Owner-occupancy runs high here — the homestead share is roughly 70 percent — which points to a stable, lived-in community rather than a rental-heavy one. Combined with the modest median living area near 1,344 square feet, the practical read is a place where homes turn over slowly and each transaction is negotiated on the merits of the specific property.

In a market this small, comparable sales are scarce and the age-and-condition spread makes automated estimates unreliable. We price and evaluate each home individually — walking the systems on the older builds, verifying what's actually new on recent ones — so you're negotiating from facts, not from a neighbor's headline number.

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