New Traditional homes and condos
In Smithton Ridge, homes sit on over a quarter of an acre, and reflect red brick New Traditional designs with garages and concrete driveways. Most were built in the early 2000s, but a number of homes have also been renovated in recent years. Price points here can range from upwards of $350,000 to $600,000, depending on the property's size, condition and location. The subdivision is also home to Smithton Crossings Condominiums, which offers everything from a community pool to a clubhouse. "It's a gated complex," Leeper says. "The gates are open during the day but close at night. People like that feeling of security." Condo units typically cost between $200,000 and $250,000, with additional monthly HOA fees.

Smithton Park, Cosmo Park and the Twin Lakes Recreation Area
For some time outside, Smithton Park is within walking distance and offers a playground and an open field for baseball. Or nearby, there's Cosmo Park, which stretches nearly 550 acres, making it the largest green space in the city. Featuring everything from the city's biggest playground to tennis courts, the park is also home to the L. A. Nickell Golf Course, which hosts events, including free summer Family Nights, complete with dinner and putt-putt opportunities. Nearby, the Twin Lakes Recreation Area offers a dog park and lakefront walking trails; and when the weather is warm enough, many locals come here to soak in some sun, or cool off in the water.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
