Pleasant Grove
Pleasant Grove streets made beautiful by volunteers
Many homes in Pleasant Grove are older builds, with most properties constructed between the 1950s and 1980s. The most common residences are bungalows or ranch-style homes with brick or stone detailing, which cost between $200,000 and $400,000. Several properties have covered porches or patios, and many homeowners use this outdoor space to set up tables and chairs under the shade of neighborhood oak and spruce trees. Anyone driving through one of Pleasant Grove’s many subdivisions might also see volunteers working on local beautification projects, such as cleaning up litter or restoring old homes. Northwest Park has a CAP Index Crime Score of 6, slightly higher than the national average score of 4. The neighborhood has some high individual CAP Index Crime Scores, including a 7 for robbery, car theft and assault.
