Entry-level pricing and classic architecture
Rural living in Carpenter means lower taxes and relatively affordable housing costs, with the average home value sitting at $195,000. Many homes here were built in the mid-to-late 20th century, but some early 1900s bungalows and Victorian farmhouses can be found along Remington’s main roads. Quaint, 500-square-foot, two-bedroom brick homes with recently updated interiors have hit the market for less than $100,000. At the same time, high-end price tags can be $300,000 and above with five-bedroom, 3,000-square-foot Victorians with well-kept flooring and updated appliances. The area’s standard home is a three-bedroom ranch-style house, many of which were built in the 1970s. Away from the town’s center, among the surrounding open fields and farmland, are long-established houses on expansive lots of 20 acres and more.

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.
