Malvern Walk is full of New Traditional townhomes, while Kings Circle has Colonial Revival-inspired split-levels, and Frazer View features mostly cottages and Cape Cods. Single-family home prices start around $500,000 and rise to about $910,000. Large homes on half an acre or more can sell for over $1 million. Townhomes typically range from $430,000 to $595,000.
