Character-rich early century homes drawing many first-time buyers
Most homes here are early 20th-century classics, with Cape Cods, colonials, bungalows, and Craftsman styles being common. Jamie Maze, a Realtor and team leader at Maze & Company, says the age of the homes is a big draw. “It’s a hidden gem,” she says. “They’re older homes, and the character is incredible.” Lots are usually small, around a tenth of an acre, with houses often just an arm’s length apart. Depending on condition, homes typically sell from the mid-$70,000s to the upper $300,000s. The median sale price for a single-family home is in the mid-$200,000s, higher than nearby areas like Valleyview Heights, Central Hilltop, North Hilltop and Holly Hill. “This is the neighborhood if you want to go for a nice, affordable classic 1920s home,” says Brian Bainbridge, a broker with CRT Realtors. “Many first-time homebuyers don’t want a cookie-cutter home and want to be closer to downtown.”
Driving down any street in the area will reveal early 20th-century homes.
Residents can sit outside on their front porches and patios and wave to neighbors.
Westgate has a mix of traditional housing styles.

There are only so many jobs open and most of them just pass folks around; they only want people with an extensive history of working to work. So, getting into a job in entry level does not really exist as entry level really means something other than what its suppose to mean.
