Ranch-style homes with a suburban feel
Most homes here are brick ranch-style houses, set in subdivisions like Crescent Park that have cul-de-sacs and curving, sidewalk-lined streets. “They’re older homes from the 1960s and ‘70s, and they’re on the smaller side, 1,200 to 1,500 square feet,” says Ronald Leone, an associate broker with Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Steinborn & Associates who’s lived in the area since 2001.Paved two-car driveways lead to attached garages, and yards are landscaped with manicured grass or low-water plantings.
In the Heritage Farm subdivision, 21st-century Southwestern-style homes typically have stucco exteriors and flat roofs. Lot sizes vary from an eighth to a third of an acre, determining prices that range from around $230,000 to $470,000. Multi-family properties with two to seven units range from around $220,000 to $1.1 million. Low-rise apartment complexes are available to renters.
