The diverse styles include French-influenced houses with mansard roofs, colonial homes accented by coupled columns, Victorians with bay windows and Federal mansions featuring large columns. “The area is moderately priced overall, but there is some variation depending on the street. Most homes are in the $200,000s,” Sessions says. Sales prices range from $218,000 for French-influenced home to $790,000 for a Federal mansion.
