Midcentury ranch-style and Cape Cod homes

Shaded by clusters of mature trees, quarter-acre lots surround Cape Cods and ranch-style houses. Most homes were constructed in the 1950s, and many have the individual touch of owners who have come and gone in previous years. “The typical house is a three-bedroom, one bathroom under 1000 square feet,” Hellwege says. “In some instances, a homeowner has taken out a wall to make it a two-bedroom.” Prices typically fall between the mid-$100,000s and the low $200,000s, with renovation and size as key factors in higher prices. “You’re going to pay more for homes that have had additions,” says Hellwege. Home values average in the high $100,000s, well below the state and national averages.

Kites and soccer matches at Westmoor Park

Just outside the neighborhood, Westmoor Park is a 17-acre public space largely consisting of a multipurpose field intended for sporting events and private playtimes. “It’s a great place to fly a kite,” Hellwege says. “There are a lot of athletic events that take place there, including soccer and football league games.” The Hilltop YMCA on Valleyview Drive has cardio equipment and weights, along with aerobics classes and an indoor pool and sauna. Next to the railroad tracks in the southern part of the community is the Camp Chase Trail—a 16-mile trail that goes from the nearby Hilltop neighborhood to rural Madison County.

Hot chicken at Overdose

Casa Karmelitas has authentic Mexican street food, including tacos, street corn and empanadas. The trendy café started as a weekly pop-up outside Lookoutsupply—an art supply store—before adding a food truck in 2024. Overdose Hot Chicken grades their spice levels from “no kick” to “overdose,” piling spice-soaked chicken breasts on sandwiches, nachos and fries. After the heat kicks in, visitors are tempted with shaved ice in flavors from mango to dragon strawberry. The Great Western Shopping Center offers retail options and grocery shopping with Shoppers World, Dollar General and Citi Trends.
