Midcentury ranch-style and Cape Cod homes
Shaded by clusters of mature trees, quarter-acre lots surround Cape Cods and ranch-style houses. Most homes were constructed in the 1950s, and many have the individual touch of owners who have come and gone in previous years. “The typical house is a three-bedroom, one bathroom under 1000 square feet,” Hellwege says. “In some instances, a homeowner has taken out a wall to make it a two-bedroom.” Prices typically fall between the mid-$100,000s and the low $200,000s, with renovation and size as key factors in higher prices. “You’re going to pay more for homes that have had additions,” says Hellwege. Home values average in the high $100,000s, well below the state and national averages.
