Large brick homes generate high demand and prices
Large brick homes, many of which are custom designs, line streets and cul-de-sacs. Yards are modest in size, but many properties come with screened-in back porches or stone patios to maximize time spent outside. Prices of recently sold homes range from the upper $500,000s to the lower $700,000s. The neighborhood's median single-family home price is in the mid-$600,000s, much more than the median single-family price for all of Greensboro. The higher prices are driven by the demand for the neighborhood and the limited number of houses, says Angela Moran, a Realtor with United Realty Group. “There's not any more room to build houses.”
All the homes have been built since 1990, with most constructed since 2000.
The average home encompasses more than 3,200 square feet.
