Varied price points in Jesco Hills Estates
Like much of the rest of Lafayette, home prices here have risen in recent years. “We were impacted by 2008, but not nearly as much as other communities around,” Butcher says. “We stayed level, now were catching up to where we would have been had we increased over the last 20 years.” Prices range dramatically depending on size, upgrades and age. Modest minimal traditional homes built in the 1950s can sell for as low as $100,000, whereas 1980s New Traditionals and Colonial Revivals can sell above $400,00. Split-levels from the 1960s sit in between. For a dense residential area, the neighborhood’s winding streets and dense tree cover offer a more secluded feeling from the nearby urban core.
