Springhill offers quiet residential living in northeast Middletown
Once buyers settle into a home in the northeastern neighborhood of Springhill, it’s rare for them to leave. The community has quiet streets and an abundance of single-story homes on compact lots, which attracts buyers searching for properties that are easier to manage. “The demographic is older,” says Melvin Hart, a Middletown resident and Realtor with ERA Real Solutions Realty. Having sold several homes in the area, Hart says many buyers “are empty nesters and want to downsize.” About a quarter of the community’s population is 65 or older, and the median age is 44. At the same time, families also consider the area for its proximity to schools and a sizable inventory of larger homes on spacious parcels.
Craftsman and bungalow designs also make up much of the Springhill housing stock.
Springhill is community mixed with single-story and multi-level homes.
