With a median living area around 1,686 square feet and a build-year range that stretches nearly eight decades, this is not a subdivision of repeated floor plans. Expect to evaluate each home on its own terms: roof, systems, and updates will move price far more than a headline number. The 1978 median build year means a meaningful share of the housing stock predates modern construction standards, so budgeting for updates — or paying up for a home where that work is done — is the central decision.

The high homestead share suggests homes here tend to stay put, which keeps inventory thin and makes each listing consequential. That cuts both ways. Sellers who prepare and price to condition can capture attention in a low-supply setting; buyers should be ready to move on the right home but equally ready to walk when the numbers behind a fixer do not add up.

In a market this small and this condition-dependent, the median tells you very little about any single house. We do the work of pricing to the actual home in front of you — reading the age of systems, the quality of updates, and the thin comparable set that a 51-home enclave gives us. That's how we keep a buyer from overpaying for deferred maintenance and a seller from underpricing genuine improvements.
