Tree-lined streets and a diverse housing market
The neighborhoods in West Williamsburg have winding, leafy roads that make for a pleasant and relaxed drive. On a cruise through this area, you’ll see a wide variety of architectural styles that include ranch homes, Cape Cods and transitional-style homes. These houses are often tucked back on woodsy lots ranging between a quarter to a half-acre with mature trees and tidy landscaping. In West Williamsburg, you can get a four-bedroom Cape Cod for around $350,000, a three-bedroom colonial for $450,000 or a four-bedroom transitional-style home for around $600,000. “In general, the market is very good here,” McNulty says. “The number of days it's on the market before it sells will depend largely on the price. The lower the price, the faster it goes. Williamsburg tends to be kind of expensive, especially for first-time homebuyers, so homes with lower price points sell very quickly.”
