Bigger homes on larger lots
Compared to Upper Hastings Ranch, single-family homes south of Sierra Madre Boulevard are larger and situated on bigger lots. “Upper is more tract homes, whereas you’re going to get more custom homes in Lower,” says founder and CEO of Realiv Kevin Kwan, who has almost two decades of experience in the market. Homes were built between the 1950s and ‘70s, typically between 1,800 and 3,000 square feet, while lots are closer to 10,000. Kwan says the smallest homes are closest to Foothill Boulevard, noting that properties get larger as you go north. “You’re not going to see as many properties for sale here, and they’re going to be more expensive.” Lower Hastings Ranch is mostly single-family, but there are a handful of condos and townhomes. Prices range from $1.3 million for a midcentury home with over 1,400 square feet to $2.2 million for an updated ranch-style home with over 2,500 square feet.
