Cape Cod and Colonial Revival homes on peaceful streets
Aside from Tower Road, a neighborhood connector, the streets here are mainly quiet with little traffic so despite a lack of sidewalks in most areas, drivers can safely share the road with residents out on a walk. Madison Woods is comprised mostly of homes from the 1960s and 1970s, yet a fair amount of new construction has covered the area. Houses are diverse in look with ranch-style, Cape Cod and Colonial Revival designs most common, typically resting on quarter-acre, manicured lots with tall mature trees providing shade. Three to four-bedroom builds are often priced between $300,000 and $400,000 but new builds along Beckwith Drive are a bit more expensive, often surpassing the $400,000 mark. A newly built townhouse along Cannon Crossing Way starts at $250,000.
There are cape cod styled homes in Madison Woods and in Muirs Chapel with brick finishes.
