A mix of midcentury homes and new builds
Talbot’s streets zig-zag, with Talbot Road winding south through the community. Driveways are standard for the gridded streets and the cul-de-sac portions, as are attached and detached garages. Street parking is more difficult to find in the northern half of the neighborhood, but homes at the southern end have reasonable room for friends and family to park their cars when they visit. Mid-to-late 20th-century bungalows, ranches and foursquares feature yards large enough for hosting; some, however, have yards barely suitable for a single tree. Renovated homes fetch just as much as builds from the last two decades, starting at around $480,000 and easily creeping north of $1 million.
Talbot homes display distinctive details and neat exteriors.
Talbot’s residential streets feature mature trees and quiet charm.
