Gutherie
Mostly one-story early 20th-century housing
The neighborhood is almost entirely made up of Craftsman-style bungalows. The neighborhood’s houses do not have attached garages, but some properties have separate garages. Old-growth trees shade many of the yards, and backyards are large enough to set up patios with firepits. Bungalows from the turn of the century start for as low as $25,000 and sell for as high as $150,000. Some have front porches large enough for folks to relax and chat with their neighbors as they walk past on the sidewalks. There are a few brick ranch-style houses that sell for between $80,000 and $120,000.

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.
