Traditional styles with loving renovations
Richland features a variety of housing styles, most of which are traditional in nature. Prospective homebuyers will find plenty of split-level, ranch-style and National homes throughout the neighborhood. Prices in Richland range from about $85,500 to $200,000 for traditional homes, while more modern or more heavily renovated homes - typically much larger and sitting on several acres - range from $275,000 to $600,000. "You won't find a whole lot of new construction in the area," says Haschak. "But you will find a lot of nice ranches and other traditional styles, and they've usually been taken care of or renovated." Many of these renovated homes are historic in nature and reflect the neighborhood's founding. The homes are well-maintained properties with spacious lots and mature landscaping. Additionally, Haschak notes, "Taxes in the area are really cheap, some of the cheapest in the state. That's definitely part of the appeal."

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.
