Centennial bungalows and American Foursquares
Sidewalks connect the neighborhood, passing covered front porches and yards enclosed with chain-link fences. Street names like Teutonia Avenue point toward the earliest years of the area's German heritage. Land goes for a premium this close to the city's main drag, so front and back yards are minimal, rarely requiring extensive upkeep outside of corner lots. Most homes in the area are bungalows and American Foursquares, with a median construction date of 1900. As a result, extensive renovation may be required before an official move-in date can be set. The least expensive homes are often tax foreclosures, falling between the low $5,000s and the mid-$18,000s. Single-story bungalows begin in the mid-$30,000s and peak in the mid-$100,000s with improved maintenance and amenities like bonus rooms. American Foursquare models start in the low $40,000s and reach the high $100,000s depending on condition and size.
Four square homes are common throughout the North Division neighborhood.
Quaint bungalows are one of great options for a new home in North Division.
