Market Heat
Meadows Unit 1 is a mature Longwood pocket built between 1969 and 1992, with the typical home dating to the early 1970s and sitting near 1,950 square feet. At a median of $455,000 and roughly $193 a foot, price here is driven far more by condition and updates than by location premium — the bones are decades old, so a renovated kitchen and mechanicals separate one closing from the next. Expect a wide spread around that median depending on how much work a given home has absorbed.
Posture is moderately competitive. A market heat score of 56 and a median of just five days on market say clean, correctly priced homes move fast, but the year-over-year figure is off 5.6%, so this is not a runaway market. Sellers should price to the current comps rather than last year's, and buyers should be ready to act quickly on the sharp listings while staying disciplined on anything that needs work.

Who Meadows Unit 1 is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting the mid-$450s who want an established, low-turnover street and are comfortable acting fast on a clean listing
- Owner-occupants planning to hold long term, in line with the 82% homestead share
- Renovation-minded buyers who can price in roof, HVAC, and systems work on an older home and capture the upside
Probably not for
- Buyers who require new or near-new construction and modern floorplans
- Anyone needing a fully turnkey home immediately, given how quickly the updated listings clear
- Short-horizon buyers uneasy with a market down 5.6% year-over-year and a thin recent sales record
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 15 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($455K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($464K) IS the -1.8% one-year change.
Windows contain 0 to 8 sales each (3 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period %s through %s. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The Meadows Unit 1 buying strategy.
If we were buying in Meadows Unit 1 today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Meadows Unit 1.
Condition is the whole story
With original construction spanning 1969 to 1992 and a median build year of 1971, the housing stock is old enough that roofs, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are legitimate diligence items. Two homes at the same square footage can trade far apart based purely on how much of that has been addressed. The $455,000 median is a midpoint across a genuinely varied inventory, not a going rate — read each listing on its own updates.
The five-day median days-on-market is real but should be read alongside a thin recent window of just three closings; a handful of sales moves the number. Combine that with an 82% homestead share and you get a neighborhood where listings are infrequent and the good ones clear quickly. Buyers who wait for the perfect turnkey home may sit for a while; sellers who present well are rewarded promptly.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Meadows Unit 1. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
