The median build year of 1963 tells you the core of this community is mid-century, but the range from 1959 to 2021 means you will occasionally find a rebuilt or newer home mixed in. That variety is a practical thing to watch: two houses on the same street can be decades apart in systems and layout, so inspections and permit history matter more here than in a uniform subdivision.

At a median of roughly 1,425 square feet, these are right-sized homes rather than sprawling ones. Homestead exemption applies to just over half the homes, which points to a community that is more owner-occupied than not, with the remainder held for other uses. Buyers should read that as a stable base rather than a churn market.

In a community where condition sets the price and homes span six decades of construction, the value is in reading each house correctly, not the neighborhood label. We price off comparable condition, flag the systems and permit questions that move a deal, and tell you plainly when a given listing is over-asking for what it actually is.

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