The defining feature here is age diversity. Homes date as far back as 1900 and as recently as 2024, with the median landing at 1985. That tells you to expect everything from original older construction to recent infill, and to underwrite each home on its own merits rather than a neighborhood average. Inspections and a clear-eyed look at systems and updates carry real weight.

At a median of 1,351 square feet, this is a right-sized rather than sprawling community, and no community amenities surface in current MLS listings. Just over half of homes carry a homestead exemption, at a 55.6% share, which points to a core of owner-occupants alongside a meaningful share of other uses. That mix is worth factoring into how you read any given block.

A thin market with zero active listings and wide age variation is exactly where local read matters. We track what actually trades, we know which streets carry newer or heavily updated homes, and we price and position based on condition rather than a blanket neighborhood number. Whether you are waiting for the right listing or preparing one, we will tell you straight where a home sits in the mix.
