The local housing scene

The residential streets of Chambers Heights are lined with a diverse selection of houses, from manufactured homes and condos to ranch-style homes and split levels built throughout the 1960s and ‘70s. Properties are typically between 6,000 square feet and a quarter acre, and most feature attached garages and fenced-in back yards with mature trees. “I sold a home here where the buyer fell in love with the property because it had a garage and backyard where he could park his vehicles and also use the space for other things. The home itself had the feel of a mountain home, super cozy, even though it was an older brick ranch,” says Realtor Spencer Bruce with Ed Prather Real Estate.
