The defining fact here is the spread of vintages. A neighborhood with homes from 1902 through 2024 sitting side by side means wildly different mechanical systems, layouts, and renovation histories under one zip code. The 1971 median tells you the typical house is older, and the 1,212-square-foot median living area tells you it is compact. Buyers should budget for inspection and, in many cases, for updates — the premium goes to homes that have already been brought current.

No community amenities appear in the current MLS data, so there are no HOA pools, gates, or shared facilities carrying value or cost. Just over half the homes — 55 percent — carry a homestead exemption, which points to a neighborhood held more by owner-occupants than by a heavy investor presence. For a seller, that stability can mean fewer comparable sales to anchor pricing; for a buyer, it means getting the condition assessment right matters more than reading the block.

A market this thin — one active listing, a wide age range, and few recent closings — rewards local judgment over automated pricing. We help sellers position an older or updated home against scarce comps, and we help buyers underwrite condition honestly on a property that may be the only one available for months. The number that matters here is what the house is actually worth today, and that takes a trained read, not a rounded guess.
