Explore the types of homes in Madison Place
The neighborhood primarily has single-family homes from the early to mid-20th century. “Usually there’s nothing newer than the 1960s, unless there’s an infill project or something,” says Sara Foltz, Realtor with Keller Williams Real Estate Services, who has experience in the area. Most homes are cottage-like bungalows with small yards and short driveways, so parked cars still line most streets. Some have raised foundations, making space for attached garages under covered front porches. Historic homes, from Cape Cods to Tudor Revivals and Dutch Colonials, are also common.
