Colonial, Tudor and Craftsman homes at lower prices than nearby areas
Walking along Maplewood’s quiet, tree-lined streets, it’s easy to forget you’re in a modern city. More than 200 homes fall within the Maplewood Historic District, with many built between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Colonial Revivals feature clapboard siding and louvered shutters, while Tudor Revivals stand out with half-timbering and steep gables. Craftsman homes include details like lattice skirting and covered porches. “It’s a very diverse neighborhood — a lot of cultural heritage,” says Gary Norton, a real estate salesperson with Howard Hanna with over 15 years of experience.
Prices range from the low $50,000s for fixer-uppers to the mid-$300,000s for larger, move-in-ready homes. Residents are split roughly evenly between renters and owners, and the median sale price is in the upper $100,000s — lower than Irondequoit but higher than Northeast Rochester. “This is still an affordable area,” Norton says. “A lot of homes are under $200,000. The market is amazing right now.”
Portions of Maplewood are on the National Register for Historic Places.
