What home styles and prices look like in this growing suburb
The planned communities of West Albany are neatly organized with minimal lawns and well-manicured foliage. Subdivisions often center around common areas like parks or clubhouses, and sidewalks help to keep neighbors connected. “It’s a very fast-growing neighborhood,” says Powell Buehler Group Realtor Craig Buehler. “People who move here are looking for newer houses.” Apartments make up almost half of the local dwellings, with single-family houses and condos accounting for the rest. Most homes are New Traditional designs that were built in the early 21st century. Condos typically sell between the mid-$200,000s and the high $400,000s, depending on their size and amenities. House sales range from the low $300,000s to the high $500,000s. The median price of a single-family home in West Albany is in the low $400,000s, which is less than in nearby communities like New Albany and The Preserve, but more than in Central College and Preserve South.
