Older homes in good condition
Hickory Ridge homes were built in the 1960s and 70s, reflecting the popular styles of those years. Modern ranch-style homes and split-level colonials characterize the community’s architectural landscape, and many homes sell with fully updated interiors. But homes don’t have to be updated to be in good condition, Tajnai says. “They’re older, but they’re all in good condition.” Prices range from $170,000 to $300,000, with fully renovated homes selling for higher prices. The median home price is $269,000, up 8% from the previous year.
