The 1981-to-2024 build range is the single most important thing to understand here. A median year built near 1996 sits in the middle of that span, which means you will tour genuinely older homes and near-new construction within the same 52-home community. The practical effect is a broad quality spread: roofs, systems, and finishes will be in very different places from one address to the next.

Roughly nine in ten homes carry a homestead exemption, which tells you inventory turns over slowly and most owners are settled in. That tends to keep the number of listings tight at any given moment, so serious buyers should be ready to move when the right home in the right condition surfaces.

In a community where the median tells you almost nothing about a specific home, our value is in the walk-through — reading condition, systems, and updates against a wide build range so you know whether a price is fair for what you are actually buying. With turnover this slow, we also help you be positioned before the right listing hits.

Listings in this community report association dues of about $82 per month ($984 a year) — the median AssociationFee across 16 MLS records, normalised to a monthly figure; most are billed quarterly. Dues change with budgets and can differ by section or product type; confirm the current figure with the association before you offer. Source: MLS listing records, 2026-09.
