A mix of houses with lower prices than nearby areas

Modest cottages and ranch-style houses make up most of the single-family options and typically cost between the upper $100,000s and lower $400,000s. Condos include buildings of all sizes, ranging from the lower $100,000s to the mid-$200,000s.

Nearby airport creates little noise
Despite being next to Merrill Field, Ketchum says you don't need to worry about airplane noise. The airport serves small private planes, and the runways are set up so they don't often fly over the neighborhood. Any noise will be limited to background sounds that she says are easily tuned out.
