Ranch-style homes with varying aesthetics
The neighborhood’s ranch-style homes, built from the 1950s to the ‘80s, have a range of styles, including Southwestern homes with flat roofs and stucco exteriors, classic brick single-levels and midcentury modern builds. These are typically surrounded by low stone or brick walls, and yards vary from grassy lawns shaded by trees to low-water landscaping with cacti and decorative rocks. Prices typically range from $160,000 to $250,000, depending on renovations. Two and three-bedroom townhouses built in the 1980s can go for about $180,000 to $230,000, depending on size, and three- and four-unit multifamily properties can cost between $240,000 and $370,000. Manufactured homes here rarely come on the market, and low-rise apartment complexes are available for renters.
