The year-built range from 1927 to 2023 tells you most of what you need to know about this community. You are looking at everything from original beach cottages to ground-up new construction, sometimes side by side. The median build year of 1959 means a large share of the inventory predates modern construction standards, so inspections — roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing — are not a formality here; they are the whole negotiation.

Median living area sits at roughly 2,016 square feet, which is generous for an older coastal grid and reflects both the newer rebuilds pulling the middle up and the additions layered onto older homes over the decades. About 64% of the homes are homesteaded, pointing to a settled owner-occupant base and comparatively steady turnover rather than a rental-heavy churn.

In a community where the build years run from 1927 to 2023, the value is in reading each house correctly — what is original, what has been updated, and what the next owner will have to touch. We price and negotiate to the specific condition in front of us rather than to a neighborhood average, and we will tell you plainly when a home's charm is masking a project you are not set up to take on.
