Springtree has midcentury modern styles
Springtree contains single-story houses with two to three bedrooms. Homes often display the angular lines of midcentury modern styles. Most residential lots are a quarter of an acre in size or less. "These houses have a lot of remodeling from investors,” says Rocky Lyon, a local Realtor with Pepine Realty. “Most homes are from the 1950s and 1960s, and investors are restoring them to bring them back to life." Home prices in this area vary depending on the extent of renovation. Fixer-upper properties can range in price from $120,000 to $200,000, while move-in-ready homes are priced between $220,000 and $320,000.
