Historic Victorians and log cabins
In town, a range of historic, colorful Victorians and bungalows dot the street, reminiscent of the former glory days, while a mix of contemporary homes and large modern log cabins are scattered throughout the mountainous rolling hills. “Everyone wants a log cabin in the mountains, so you’ll see more wooden-style homes, but there are still a lot of ranch-style and custom-built homes around here,” Roshek says. The median price for a single-family home hovers around the mid $300,000s with an average lot size just over 1 acre. However, prices can range from the mid $100,000s to the mid $300,000s for a modest bungalow in the heart of town. At the same time, a log cabin with ample privacy can start in the low $400,000s and reach the upper $800,000s for a house on 30 acres, with some residences topping over $1 million for 50+ acres.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
