Subdivisions with Mediterranean influence

Many homes are from the 1970s and 80s, while some Fruitvale subdivisions have construction from this decade. “Several pocket neighborhoods don't have an HOA,” Seng says. “These are mostly older homes with a vintage feel that the buyer can easily upgrade for a more modern appeal.”
Properties closer to I-70 and the business loop may experience higher noise levels. The median single-family price is about $385,000, just under the nationwide median.
