The types of homes you’ll find in Armbrust Acres
Many homes date to the 1970s and ’80s, but there are some contemporary and New Traditional builds from the 2020s in the mix. “It’s a good mixture of different style homes. You’ve got ranch-style homes, two-stories, some split-entries, some multilevels,” says Oscar Barrera, a Realtor at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate who’s in his 15th year of selling in the area. “It’s just a very nice, well-kept neighborhood.”
Properties typically measure about a quarter of an acre, with paved driveways, attached garages and leafy trees for shade and privacy. “Some of those newer neighborhoods out there lack that, but this neighborhood has got some nice mature trees,” Barrera says. Larger and pricier homes might have amenities like in-ground pools, outdoor kitchens and home gyms. Sidewalks are well-maintained and good for strolling or jogging.
