Loften Woods
Suburban Neighborhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana
Allen County 46815
Spacious, single-family homes with character are found in Loften Woods
In Loften Woods, houses come in several styles. Single-story ranch-style properties with half-timbering details can be found alongside Colonial Revivals and split-levels with wide front porches. “These homes have a lot of character, including built-in bookshelves and finished basements,” Jemison says. Although Loften Woods houses tend to have more square footage than homes in surrounding neighborhoods, homes here are priced on par with them. Jemison says this is likely to change in the future. “Loften Woods has risen in price quite a bit. Even with the market changing, we’re still seeing cash offers over asking,” he says. Buyers can expect to find 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom homes listed for around $200,000, while properties with nearly 4,000 square feet are listed closer to $350,000.
