Mix of remodeled and original homes on spacious suburban lots
Small lakes and creeks dot the subdivisions in Hickory Ridge, where single-family homes rest in the shade of towering oak and maple trees along wide cul-de-sac-capped streets. Ranch-style, split-level and contemporary homes from the 1960s through the 1980s are common, as are Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals from the 1990s and early 2000s. “It’s a very established, mature community,” says ZANTHIA HASTINGS, a Realtor with Real Broker, LLC. “People have remodeled homes over and over again, and others have not been remodeled at all.” Living space is somewhat small, with homes averaging under 1,500 square feet. However, lots can be spacious, with properties often stretching over a quarter of an acre.
Classic brick ranch-style homes are a popular choice.
