Unique custom homes from the '60s and '70s
Linden Wood has a collection of newer and older subdivisions. Ranch-style homes and split-level homes dominate the housing stock. Many date back to the '60s and '70s. Variation is a selling point in older neighborhoods like Meridian Woods Park. "The houses don't all look alike because they were custom-built, whereas in a newer neighborhood, you might keep seeing the same house," Peoni says. The Cobblestone area has new traditional homes built between 2000 and 2024, with brick and vinyl exteriors and two-car garages. Neatly manicured front lawns are often large enough to spread out a picnic blanket. In some areas, mature trees shade entire yards. The occasional flower bed adds a pop of color. Prices start at around $160,000 for homes around 1,100 square feet. Prices can reach $530,000 for homes around 3,500 square feet.
