Custom-built homes, ranch-style houses and land in Brookside
As a small village, Brookside is composed of a few winding roads of single-family homes. Some of the houses are used as second homes or vacation homes, but many residents are full time and enjoy year-round access to the outdoors from their backyards. The western side has homes with open fields, barns and clear views of the mountains. The eastern side of the community offers homes on the Santa Clara River and woodsy lots for extra privacy. The architecture includes custom-built homes, which range from $750,000 to $1 million, and ranch-style homes, which start from $600,000 and go up to $700,000. There's also plenty of land for buyers interested in building their own homes, with lots ranging from $75,000 to $250,000. Usually, those interested in Brookside may have to wait for available houses. “I'd say it’s a smaller market because there’s not a lot that goes up for sale in that area usually,” Meredith says. The area's quietude is reflected in its CAP Index Crime Score: a 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4 out of 10.

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.
