Historic homes mix with modern builds on compact lots
The residential streets are tightly packed with single-family homes and duplexes, many of which date back to the early 1900s and have had extensive renovations. You can find historic cottages, bungalows, Dutch Colonials and National-style homes on compact lots with small front yards and detached garages in the back. “Bates-Hendricks has always been one of my favorite locations,” says Aubrey Walters, a real estate broker with EXP Realty and host of ADTV. “They’re restoring these homes and bringing them back to life. … You can still [flip houses] now, it’s just a lot harder.” There’s also new builds, which often sport modern farmhouse or contemporary styles with sloping roofs, asymmetrical elements and sharp lines. Most homes range from the mid-$100,000s to the low $400,000s. Recently constructed homes and properties with larger lots typically sell between the high $300,000s and the high $500,000s.
