Competitively priced bungalows and ranch-style homes

Most of the neighborhood’s homes date to the 1950s. Colorful midcentury-moderns and homes featuring elements of Mediterranean Revival architecture stand out. The homes are built close together on streets that are enhanced by palms and other native greenery. Some streets feature a canopy of mature trees. Sidewalks front small yards, and back yards are often large enough for pools. Driveways are a standard feature, many homes have attached garages, and several streets are designed to allow for street parking. More than 50 percent of residents own their homes. Prices typically range from the low $300,000s to around $600,000. However, renovations and the occasional contemporary home built in recent years can list from the low $700,000s to the low $900,000s. “The prices in the area are competitive,” says Miami-based Realtor Andres Maldonado . “There are some real bargains, too.” Residents should be aware that there is a risk of flooding and wind damage during hurricane season, and insurance rates are likely to reflect that.

Good Neighbor Stormwater Park is a unique neighborhood attraction

Good Neighbor Stormwater Park is an interactive neighborhood attraction. It is not a park in the traditional sense, but an example of urban design that has transformed a flood-prone area into a public space. The park is anchored by an art piece with physical markers that rise and fall depending on the water level. Combining art and education, it offers visitors a glimpse into how flood management is handled in vulnerable communities that cannot afford major rebuilding. As for traditional recreational destinations, Oak Grove Park is a popular waterfront green space about a mile away. Oleta River State Park along the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic oceanfront are among a variety of attractions that cater to outdoors enthusiasts of all kinds.
