The neighborhood was built in the early to mid-1960s.

Homebuyers will discover that many homes in Deer Ridge have been well-maintained, partially updated or fully renovated. While home prices will reflect those improvements, the neighborhood is still well-priced compared to surrounding neighborhoods.
