What buyers pay for updated midcentury homes in this area

Midcentury Cape Cods, bungalows and ranch-style homes are typical of the area. Largely built in the 1950s, many of these builds have been updated over the years with refinished hardwood floors and renovated kitchen space. Despite these changes, most properties retain a lot of their original character. The median sale price is in the mid-$200,000s, with a general range from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s depending on size and condition. This usually puts White Manor on par with nearby neighborhoods like Fairview, Hawley Farms, Lyons Park and East Allis, but somewhat less expensive than Jackson Park.
