Ramblers and Colonial Revivals from the '70s and '80s
Buyers can find a market full of single-family homes ranging from $400,000 to $500,000, varying by square footage. A drive through Charlestowne reveals grid-patterned streets dotted with occasional pine trees, with residential roads branching into cul-de-sacs. Most neighborhood homes were built in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. As reflected by the common brick ranch and Colonial Revival styles. “Many residents are in the military, as well as other area industries,” says Cary. “For some retirees, it can be attractive because of its ranch-style homes and great layouts; if someone’s looking for one-level living, they can downsize here.”
