Renovated and fixer-upper homes define the local market

Rainbow Park features mostly detached, one-story homes built in the mid-20th century. Ranch-style houses line the streets, many updated with hurricane impact windows, new roofs and modernized kitchens and bathrooms. While you can find renovated homes, fixer-uppers are also common. "The cost in Rainbow Park is usually lower than neighborhoods closer to the downtown," says Realtor Montrial Thomas, LPT Realty, who has over a decade of experience. "Houses usually need to be rehauled." Prices typically range from the lower $300,000s to the upper $500,000s.
