Ranch-style homes by the river
Most homes in Broadmoor date to the 1960s, ’70s or ’80s, as evidenced by the plethora of single-story ranch-style houses in the mix. There are some Colonial Revival-style houses and new builds blended in, particularly in the gated subdivisions along the river. Tree-lined streets and cul-de-sacs with paved sidewalks contribute to the sheltered vibe of the neighborhood, and most properties include driveways to keep parked cars from clogging up traffic. Modest ranch-style homes start at around $250,000, while four-bedroom custom builds on the riverfront are priced in the $800,000 range.
The Broadmoor neighborhood is lush with vegetation.
