Thompson's postwar subdivisions
Thompson has more than 10 subdivisions with townhouses and apartments. The neighborhood is almost industrial, near several highways and a railroad track. Most homes are minimal traditional and ranch-style, built in the 1940s to the 1960s and featuring brick, stone and vinyl siding. Residences typically have paved driveways with carports, while others include attached garages. Robles Street surrounds a large cul-de-sac and has about 20 contemporary farmhouse bungalows, built in 2022, in neutral-colored hues. Prices across subdivisions range from $110,000 to over $275,000. "You'll find pockets being flipped by investors. These neighborhoods might not have the best reputation, but some people like the charm in the older homes," says Juanita Ortega, a Realtor with Premier Realty Group. She's been selling houses for eight years.
