Two-bedroom ranch styles in Castle Point
On a drive through Castle Point, someone shouldn’t expect to find much housing diversity. The typical home here is a ranch-style house with one or two bedrooms. Most properties feature a one-car garage, although some houses may have a carport. The backyards lean towards the spacious side. “For under $50,000, you can get a 950 to 1,000 square foot home," Harrington says. "It’s not a big house. But, if you just need to get out of an apartment, the price you’d pay is less than people are paying on a two-bedroom apartment.” The median price for a single-family home here is around $75,000, with most houses selling in the $60,000 to $90,000 range.
