Ranch-style homes built in the 1920s to 1950s are typical, alongside minimal traditional single-story homes and bungalows. Prices range from $350,000 to $500,000. Bi-level homes in the neighborhood built in the 1970s cost $450,000 to $525,000.
Duplexes can also be found on the market. These multi-family properties can go for as low as $475,000 for one unit, and up to $900,000 for both. Manufactured homes are another option, priced around $90,000 to $100,000. Piney Mountain Mobile Home Park and Derby Mobile Home Park are two communities in the neighborhood. Roughly half of Kemp residents own their property, while the rest are renters.
