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.
Two-car garages are standard in West Albany, keeping cars from parking on the narrow streets.
Sleek modern homes are available in the newer subdivisions.
West Albany’s housing stock is largely made up of single-family detached homes.
