Just south of Lebanon is North Cornwall, one of the city’s most popular suburban areas. Though it spans the edges of the city to the farms on the outskirts, most of North Cornwall is populated by manicured subdivisions with spacious homes sought after by families. “People choose to live in North Cornwall because of the schools,” says Joan Hains, a Lebanon resident and a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty. “Both the middle school and the high school are near there in south Lebanon, and the elementary school is just in Cornwall. So, you end up having to do less running around across the city because they’re all close by. It’s also just a quiet, family-oriented area.” Golf courses and shopping centers are just some of the amenities that North Cornwall offers, with access to Downtown Lebanon and beyond.

From condos to estates, with established neighborhoods in between
Spanning from the edges of the city to the rural farmland beyond, North Cornwall’s housing runs the gamut from condos to multi-acre estates. However, single-family homes with over 2,000 square feet are the most common housing, clustering together in neat subdivisions on the outskirts of Lebanon. “About 90 percent of the farm fields around Lebanon are owned by farmers, but every few years one or two will get bought up and turned into a new subdivision,” says Joshua Johnson, a Realtor with Iron Valley Real Estate. Some of this area’s oldest cottages and ranch-style homes were built between the 1940s and ‘60s, and list at a starting price of $200,000. Spacious new construction and New Traditional houses in tree-lined subdivisions peak at roughly $700,000, while homes with acreage can push prices above the $1 million mark. Recently built townhouses list between $250,000 and $300,000, while luxury condos ask for $370,000 to $700,000.
Townhomes are a great opportunity for locals to enter the housing market in North Cornwall.
