The year-built range here is unusually wide - 1895 to 2023 - so the housing stock is genuinely mixed, and the 1986 median tells you most of it sits in the older middle. Median living space is about 1,144 square feet, which keeps these homes in modest, single-level territory. Because it is a co-op, the price you see reflects a share interest, and financing, approval, and resale all run differently than a standard deed. Read the co-op documents closely before you fall for a floor plan.

With homestead share near 40%, a meaningful slice of these homes are not owner-occupied primary residences, which matters for how the community turns over and for anyone weighing a seasonal or hold strategy. Year-over-year the median is up 2.9% - steady, not dramatic. No community amenities surfaced in the current MLS data, so value the location and the home itself, not a shared feature set you may be assuming exists.

Co-ops are a different animal, and we treat them that way - digging into the share structure, the approval process, and the financing limits before you write an offer. With a cool market and 73-day median time on market, the leverage and the pitfalls are both real, and we will tell you plainly when a given listing does not pencil out.
