Across 248 homes, the defining trait here is variety. A build range from 1904 to 2022 tells you the area filled in over a very long arc, and a median year built of 1978 places the middle of the inventory in older, established stock. Expect to encounter turn-of-the-century character, later mid-century layouts, and newer construction — sometimes on adjacent streets. That range is an opportunity, but it puts the burden of due diligence on inspections and an accurate condition read.

The homestead share sits at about 81%, which points to a community held largely by owner-occupants rather than churned as rentals. Combined with the larger median footprint near 3,168 square feet, that suggests homes here are lived in and often improved over time. It also means turnover can be steady rather than heavy, so serious buyers should be ready to move when the right house — in the right condition — appears.

In a neighborhood where a 1904 house and a 2022 build can list within the same week, the value is in reading each property honestly — systems, updates, and what the price is really buying. We price and negotiate off the specific home in front of us, not a neighborhood average, and we will tell you plainly when a listing is a project versus a finished product.

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