Home styles in Midtown and what buyers can expect to pay
Most homes in Midtown are multifamily buildings, including townhouses and condos. “You don’t have to worry about exterior maintenance. It’s all taken care of by the homeowners association,” says Janis Tolbert, a broker associate at Herrington and Company. Townhouses usually range from the low $200,000s to the upper $300,000s. HOA fees can cost up to $522 per month. You can find some pockets of single-family homes, mostly ranch-style and traditional architectural designs, on streets lined with tall pines. These typically cost between the mid-$200,000s and the low $300,000s. Midtown can be good for renters, too, with about 76% of the neighborhood’s population renting their homes.
Split-level homes make up much of the neighborhood.
Single-family homes in Midtown are often modest in nature and range from ranches to cottages.
