New Traditional homes and vibrant landscaping
Flower beds, Italian cypress trees and fenced-in backyards are all features of the modest lots in Campus Highlands. Sidewalks line either side of these quiet streets, which often form miniature cul-de-sacs in an economical design. This neighborhood features New Traditional and occasional ranch-style homes built in the 1990s. Houses borrow from classical architecture with intricate detailing like garden windows, arched doorways and presidential roofs. Four-bedroom houses with around 2,000 square feet are a trademark of Campus Highlands, and prices range from $600,000 to $850,000. “You have more sellers and clients who are interested in this area, and that’s why there’s a higher price point here,” Smith says.
