Residential blocks feature mature trees and long driveways
Running through the middle of Ross, the main thoroughfare has many of the local businesses, while grid-style blocks and winding roads surround it for a mostly residential feel. The yards tend to be on the larger side and have mature trees to shade long driveways. “They have many older, historical homes from the 1800s. The small ones are on the affordable side,” says Realtor Chhabi Neopaney with Key Realty, LTD and eight years of experience in the area. Architectural styles include Georgian homes featuring Doric columns, Cape Cods, ranch-style houses and farmhouses with covered front porches. Sales prices can range from $215,000 for a ranch-style to $537,500 for a Georgian house.
