Blue Valley
Split-levels and Colonial Revivals from the 70s to now
Those looking to move to Blue Valley will primarily find homes built from the 1970s to present-day. They come in a range of styles, including split-levels, Colonial Revivals and contemporary homes with two-car garages. Properties typically rest along sidewalk-lined streets with spacious lots adorned with mature ash and maple trees that are common to the area. A four-bedroom on a quarter-acre could sell for $400,000, while a 4-bedroom with an acre may cost around $525,000. “Things sell quickly in that area. I’m still seeing multiple offers,” Fields-Leone says. “If something’s priced right and in good condition, it will sell within days. People want the school district.”

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
