Early 20th century homes on gridded streets
Belding Woods is laid out on a classic grid where the streets are lined with single-family homes, duplexes and small, multi-family buildings built in the early 20th century. The most common designs are modest ranch-style homes and Craftsman bungalows, known for their exposed beams and wide front porches. Tudor Revival homes with steep rooftops and half-timbering can also be found here. The homes here are on the smaller side, typically ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 square feet, as are lot sizes. Fenced-in backyards with shaded patios give families space for a cookout with friends. Prices range from around $400,000 to $700,000, putting it well below the East Bay average.
