Housing stock comes with opportunity

The majority of the houses in this neighborhood were built between the 1930s and the 1970s. Most options are single-story ranch-style homes with floor plans from 1,300 square feet to about 3,000 square feet. However, this area has also become desirable to developers, who can tear down existing structures for modern housing. “It’s attractive because it’s cheap to purchase,” says Spruel, who was a 2023 winner of Connect Realty’s President’s Club Award, given to top producers. “Developers buying properties and rebuilding.” Recent construction has included multifamily structures, like duplexes and townhomes. Many of the neighborhood’s homes line quiet residential streets, and some of those streets are lined with sidewalks. Prices in Golfcrest-Bellfort-Reveille typically span from the $200,000s to the $400,000s.
