New Traditional homes with various looks
This is a low-traffic area where winding streets branch off into cul-de-sacs. Most homes were built between 1990 and 2000, with two-car garages and brick and vinyl exteriors. There are a variety of New Traditional looks, including modern Colonial and ranch styles. Many have updated interiors with granite kitchen countertops and stainless steel appliances. "There is a nice combination of all different kinds of homes," Ellis says. "It's not a cookie-cutter area." Properties are rarely on the market, but they can sell for between $375,000 and $467,000. Two-bedroom townhouses spread across the neighborhood's south side, and range between between $212,000 and $310,000.
