This established neighborhood features many 1950s and 1960s brick ranch-style homes on large lots. The houses typically have 2 to 4 bedrooms with less than 2,000 square feet. Many homeowners have expanded the attics and/or enclosed the garages to add extra living space. The ranch homes typically sell for in the low $200s to the mid $400s, so it is an affordable option in a great location! Here are a few more important details about this neighborhood:
