Neighborhood Reviews
From older Cape Cods to spacious new-traditional homes
The neighborhood has a mixture of Cape Cods, ranch-style, and colonials, some of which need to be renovated or replaced with new construction and new traditional homes, creating a wide range of home prices. Homes in the neighborhood can go for anywhere from $350,000 for a home in need of a complete gut up to $1.5 million for a new traditional home with six bedrooms and over 4,000 square feet. “Homes are going quickly here if they are priced right,” Mizrahi says. “There are some bidding wars.” While some streets in Oakhurst have sidewalks, it is more of a car-dependent community. Walk Score gave the neighborhood a score of 8 out of 100. Oakhurst is also known as a relatively safe community. The CAP Index gave the neighborhood a Crime Score of 2 out of 10, significantly lower than the national average.
