Midcentury properties in a prime location
Tight winding streets under the canopy of shaded trees feature a collection of homes primarily constructed in the 1960s. The home inventory is predominantly brick ranch homes, but West Markham offers occasional split-level properties. Prices in the area range from $109,000 to around $300,000, depending on square footage and condition. “At the price point, listings in the area are hot commodities. They’re older homes, but the lots provide space where you can make improvements or add-on to what you want it to be,” Keener says.

My husband and I grew up in this neighborhood and our families continue to live there. It does feel dodgy at times (especially over by the apartments on Ellis) but overall it's quiet and filled with a diverse group of people. At times when there are lots of renters, and the homes get shabby. Crime on Reservoir can be heard at night. People overall care for their homes. There is a NHA with a neighborhood pool. 15 minutes can take you anywhere in town from here. Best part about living here is the mixed bag of homes. Homes have been invested in and you can turn a profit if you put some money in (parents did it twice in this neighborhood.)
