Vista Hills
Split-level homes and two-story traditionals
Homes in Vista Hills are desirable for their entry-level pricing and wide range of options. “The market is competitive due to a lack of inventory,” says Bockert, who has nearly 50 years of real estate experience. “Homes in southern Maplewood are typically more expensive and feature homes from the 1980s.” With a median sales price of $210,000, homes here cost around $200,000 less than the national median. Prices range from as low as $140,000 for a one-bedroom condo to upwards of $700,000 for a six-bedroom two-story Traditional. Most homes were constructed in the late 1900s and feature ranch-styles and split-level designs. At the turn of the century, newly constructed two-story Traditionals moved into the south side of the community, starting at around $500,000. Established single-family homes make up most of the housing stock; however, multi-family condos and townhouses are also available in the northwest corner of this community. Residential streets branch off McKnight Road and lead to subdivisions lined with single-family homes. Most residences feature mid-sized lawns, paved driveways and attached multi-car garages.Neighborhood gathering at Vista Hills Park
