Home prices range from mid-$400,000s to $700,000 for larger lots
Located in the southern end of Denton, this neighborhood has a mix of vintage and newer homes. The homes in the more established part of the neighborhood are mostly ranch-style homes with lots of trees covering the front lawns. The shady neighborhood streets will make you feel as if you’re driving through a forest far from the city. There are many newer subdivisions throughout the community, offering new traditional brick homes. The homes in these areas are closer together and don’t have as many trees lining the streets, but there are sidewalks throughout the subdivisions, making it easy to take an evening stroll. Finally, there are rural parts of the neighborhood with homes on large lots with plenty of space between the houses.
Lybbert says the neighborhood is on the higher end regarding home costs in Denton. You’ll probably spend somewhere in the $400,000 to $500,000 range for a four-bedroom home. Larger houses with more yard space can cost upwards of $700,000.
