Split-level ranch-style homes meet newly renovated Craftsman-style
Wide, sidewalk-lined streets feature four-bedroom midcentury Craftsman-style bungalows and split-level ranch-style homes on up to quarter-acre lots; many were built between the late 1950s and ‘70s, and range from $400,000 to $600,000. Narrow driveways lead to two-car garages or carports here, and front and back yards are large enough for flower gardens. “The neighborhood’s housing market is hot,” says Nemec. “There’s lots of turnover and younger residents are renovating older homes toward the northern end.” These newly renovated brick and vinyl-sided Craftsman-style homes with detached garages start at $700,000.
