Mid-century to modern home styles
When Brockton was primarily a shoe manufacturing city, Brockton Heights was home to its factory managers. So, homes here were a bit more spacious than in other parts of the city. As Brockton’s industry diversified, its housing options did as well. Today, split-level homes and Colonial Revivals are most common, many built between the 1950s and 1980s. Larger properties also dot the neighborhood, ranging from three-quarters of an acre to 2 acres. Homes on these lots are mostly New Traditional and contemporary styles between 2,400 and 5,000 square feet built within the last 10 years. While condo units within buildings from the 1980s commonly list from $170,000 to $270,000, single-family homes in Brockton Heights may cost anywhere between $350,000 and $950,000.
