Most residences in Snyder were built in the ‘50s and they're all unique. “You could drive down any street and it’s anything but cookie cutter,” Ellson says. Neighbors are always out and about, too. “You see kids riding bikes up and down the streets here. People are always out enjoying their garden and walking their dogs.” It’s a typical suburban experience and layout here with sidewalks, well-tended yards and tall trees. A four-bedroom split-level traditional recently sold for $200,000, a four-bedroom brick ranch-style house for $300,000 and a three-bedroom Colonial for around $400,000.
