Bright-colored ranch-style homes sit along canals

The neighborhood is crisscrossed by flood canals and small bodies of water like Lake Steven, creating plenty of backyard waterfront perfect for fishing or boating. Single-family homes here are primarily ranch-style, offering a single story and broad curbside footprint. Beyond this standard pattern, homes vary wildly in design, offering bright colorful exteriors to match Florida’s tropical climate or showing off some state history with Spanish-influenced barrel tile roofing. Three-bedroom homes average around $500,000 but prices can vary depending on location. There are also larger homes available, some with upwards of seven rooms, ideal for large families. If you’re looking for something smaller, condominium buildings offer two-bedroom units in the mid-$200,000s.
