Most of the neighborhood’s homes were built in the 1970s and 80s. Old-growth trees shade most lawns, and sidewalks line the suburban streets. The backyards, often fenced in, have enough space for patios and grills. Bi-level and split-level homes are valued from $300,000 to $460,000, and Tudor Revival-style houses are valued from $415,000 to $530,000. Contemporary-style houses with vinyl exteriors are valued from $370,000 to $530,000. “Many of the homes have been updated and are gorgeous, and some have potential for building equity with renovations,” Marquis says. Vinyl-exterior condos and townhouses on the neighborhood’s south end are valued between $170,000 and $250,000. “The townhouses and condos are all rentals,” Marquis says.

GreatSchools:
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.
