From Craftsmans to cozy ranch homes
The streets of Jeff Davis offer a range of housing styles. Craftsman bungalows can be found along Lancelot Avenue with low-pitched roofs and deep, covered front porches on small lots with shallow front yards. Lynhaven Avenue boasts rows of ranch homes nestled close to one another with front yards enclosed by chain-link fences. Mid-century ranch-style homes with brick facades and neat landscaping shaded by mature oaks line Meridian Avenue, which also has a slew of contemporary-style dwellings under construction. The CAP Index rates Jeff Davis 9 out of 10, and is being addressed by local school enrichment programs and community engagement in local community centers. Prices for area homes range between $120,000 for a modest ranch-style house and $330,000 for a recent build or a property under construction. “Houses are selling super quickly because there’s a whole lot of demand right now and inventory is still low,” local Realtor Brandon Allen says. “Especially in the price point of $250,000 and below, we’re seeing a lot of buyers in that same ballpark.” He also says Jeff Davis has a solid yet competitive housing market. “Anywhere from three to nine days on market is kind of the norm,” he adds. “That’s super quick.”
