Because the housing stock stretches from 1940 to 2024, valuations here hinge on the particulars of each parcel more than on any neighborhood premium. A well-kept older home, a mid-1990s build near the median, and a recent construction are three different conversations. The median living area of roughly 1,665 square feet gives you a sense of scale, but square footage alone won't tell you what a given house is worth — the year it was built and what's been done to it will.

The homestead share of about 66% points to a settled ownership base rather than a rental-heavy footprint. That tends to keep turnover measured, which is useful context for both sides: sellers aren't competing against a flood of look-alike inventory, and buyers should be prepared to move on the right house when it appears rather than assume steady supply.

In a 48-home community with build years spanning eight decades, comps are only as good as the analyst reading them. We price and evaluate each home against its actual era and condition — not a blended average that flatters an older house or penalizes a newer one. That's the difference between a number you can defend and a number you hope holds.

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