Lovers Lane
Victorian and Tudor homes sell for less than $300,000
Turn-of-the-20th-century homes fill the southern end of Lovers Lane, eventually transitioning to more midcentury-era designs in the north. As houses get newer, lot size tends to increase, leaving more room for backyards, driveways and attached garages. Cape Cods and bungalows are priced between the $10,000s and the $130,000s, while Victorian and Tudor homes range from the $110,000s to the $280,000s. The prices of historic homes tend to vary based on renovation. Midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes often sell between the $110,000s and the $450,000s, depending on size and amenities.First Ward House is the "oldest saloon west of the Mississippi"

GreatSchools:
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.
