Homes range from contemporary to historic
Single-family homes here primarily consist of ranch styles from the late 20th century and new contemporary styles built within the past 20 years. “Tanglewood was originally restricted to one-and-a-half-story homes,” says Bland. “A lot of those houses have been torn down and the newly built homes now have larger lots.” The neighborhood has a traditional grid-structured layout with cul-de-sacs, and the homes here can include long driveways and garages. Older homes in the area have up to three bedrooms and typically sell for between $1.2 million to $1.5 million. Remodeled homes and large, contemporary new builds come with up to seven bedrooms and sell for as much as $11 million.
