Lower-cost single-family homes are available

Single-family home designs include ranch styles, bungalows and split-levels. Townhomes are also available. “The average age of these homes is probably 50 years old,” says Andy Griesinger, a Realtor with eXp Realty LLC Ballantyne, who sells in the area.

Townhomes are typically priced between $150,000 and $250,000. Single-family homes range from $250,000 to $650,000. Griesinger says Sheffield Park is more affordable than nearby communities such as Plaza Midwood and Commonwealth Park. Griesinger adds that most dwellings are not overseen by homeowners’ associations. However, townhomes can be HOA-controlled.

“[Sheffield Park has] a lot more young professionals and a lot of first-time buyers,” says Griesinger. “The homes are 1,400 to 2,000 square feet.”
Properties are typically on winding streets with smaller lots and oak trees accenting lawns. Multifamily units are on the edges of Sheffield Park, particularly on Albemarle Road, Central Avenue and Sharon Amity Road.
