Midcentury homes with upgrades and suburban charm
Primarily residential, you’ll find an abundance of single-family homes primarily built in the 1950s, including cozy ranch style homes, classic cottages and modest bungalows. “Almost everyone has upgraded. It’s rare that you find a home here that was as it was built,” Starr says. These homes typically offer between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet of living space, two to three bedrooms and small, grassy yards with privacy fencing. There are plenty of period quirks, whether it’s a stone accent adorning the entranceway, a wide brick chimney or a flat roof with deep eaves. The streets have a quiet, suburban feel with a tropical twist owing to the neighborhood’s many palm trees. Home prices typically range from around $600,000 to $900,000 depending on size and renovation status.
Vincent neighborhood homes have palm trees and luscious, green lawns.
