Newer single-family homes with Spanish influence
Homes in Horizon City are grouped within neighborhood pockets and include mostly brick and stucco structures from the 1990s and early 2000s – though new builds appear on the market every day. Ranch homes, Spanish Revivals and modern Craftsman homes with pillars and front gables are common. These single-family homes are spread out and usually 1,500 to 2,500 square feet in size. “Just about everything is stucco here because brick is so expensive in this area. I’d say the minimum for new housing is $245,000 and then it goes up to around $560,000,” Wise says. Since each home comes with a decently sized lot, residents like to accent their properties with local rock and stone features, plus outdoor living structures like patios, pools and pergolas.
