Tree-shaded lots and established homes shape the neighborhood
Cooley Highlands has a diverse collection of bungalows, split-levels and ranch-style options. You can find homes built anywhere between the 1920s and the 2020s, though the majority are on the older end of the scale. “They have a lot of unique character that you just don’t find in today’s newer construction,” says Chris Dalton, who’s the broker and owner at Dalton Realty, LLC. and has over 30 years of real estate experience. “Just because, back then, the homes were more custom-built, so they’re going to have a lot more distinguishing features about them.” Mature trees shade most properties, and lots are typically at least one-fifth of an acre. Sale prices typically range from the lower $100,000s to the lower $300,000s, with prices based largely on the home’s condition.
