The community has quiet streets and an abundance of single-story homes on compact lots, which attracts buyers searching for properties that are easier to manage. “The demographic is older,” says Melvin Hart, a Middletown resident and Realtor with ERA Real Solutions Realty. Having sold several homes in the area, Hart says many buyers “are empty nesters and want to downsize.” About a quarter of the community’s population is 65 or older, and the median age is 44. At the same time, families also consider the area for its proximity to schools and a sizable inventory of larger homes on spacious parcels. The neighborhood is dominated by midcentury cottages, Craftsman-inspired houses, and single-story and raised ranch-style homes.

Additional square footage and larger lots can cost between $200,000 and $350,000, depending on the home’s size, age and
