A neighborhood buzzing with activity in Apple Valley
An area that’s comprised of multifamily homes, Galaxie Commons is an active neighborhood in Apple Valley with good schools, young families and plenty of shopping and dining nearby. “There’s a lot of activity,” Nicole Junker, a local Realtor with Team Pemberton Realty, says. “It’s a very walkable area. There are people out walking dogs and several of the areas have swimming pools that are part of their HOAs. Each area is pretty active.” Because most of Galaxie Commons is made up of townhouses, Junker says the residents tend to be a bit younger than in other Apple Valley neighborhoods. She also cites the A-rated school district and low crime as reasons families tend to move to the community. Galaxie Commons’ CAP Index Crime Score is a 4, which is on par with the national average.
Highway 42 and Cedar Avenue is the main shopping hub for Apple Valley.

Townhouses are the norm in Galaxie Commons
Galaxie Commons is made-up of around 10 small subdivisions, most with their own individual homeowners associations. Here, townhouses are the norm, although there’re also some older single-family homes – dating back to the ‘70s and ‘80s – available on the outer edges of the community. The townhouses were primarily built in the early 2000s and feature elements of midcentury Craftsman designs, a combination of brick and shingle siding, one- or two-car garages and a balcony or patio off one of the rooms for an outdoor space. While at first the dense layout of Galaxie Commons might give off the feel of a giant apartment complex, the inclusion of driveways and garages, along with landscaping and small yards helps to make the subdivisions feel more homey. Houses in Galaxie Commons typically sell for between $250,000 and $375,000, and according to Junker, the market in Galaxie Commons is pretty active. She notes that there tends to be more turnover in townhouse sales than in single-family homes.
different kinds of single family homes can be found in the Galaxie Commons neighborhood.

Regatta Park is a small space within the neighborhood that is home to a few athletic fields, a playground and a paved walking path. Apple Ponds Park is also in Galaxie Commons – although despite its name there is no pond.
