East Downs District
Modest homes and some new construction
The neighborhood is laid out in a grid pattern, filled mainly with bungalows and ranch-style homes. Bungalows tend to be older, built between the early 1900s and the 1940s. Ranch-style homes will be newer, built between the late 1990s and 2023. Prices for both styles can range from $145,000 to $239,000. The majority of homes were built before 2000, but newer construction in the form of duplexes can be found scattered throughout. Sidewalks line sections of East Downs District, but most of the area does not contain walking paths. Leafy trees cover the streets and properties. Some homes have paved driveways and attached garages, but other homes only have gravel driveways. If there are attached garages, they are usually for one car. Backyard fences are found throughout, with some homeowners choosing to enclose all their land behind a fence.

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.
