Midcentury homes and new traditional styles
Barton Chapel features 1970s brick ranch-style houses alongside contemporary, custom builds. Most properties offer at least 1,500 square feet of living space and rest on lots of a quarter-acre or more. Mature pine and maple trees provide shade for nearby homes and streets. “It’s an established neighborhood, and it’s a family-oriented environment,” says Tonda Booker, a Realtor with Meybohm Real Estate who has over a decade of experience. “The homes are not all right up against each other there, so you get a little more yard.” Midcentury ranch styles typically sell between $120,000 and $180,000, while fully restored homes or contemporary builds price between $200,000 and $320,000. The area has a CAP Index Crime Score of 5 out of 10, with 4 being the national average score.
