Midcentury ranchers and 1990s Spanish Revivals
List prices in Ives Estates begin with the neighborhood’s original condominiums, built in the 1970s and ‘80s. Units in these low-rise buildings typically range from the low $100,000s to the high $300,000s. New construction townhouses are more expensive, ranging from $450,000 to the high $600,000s. Most of the neighborhood’s single-family homes are 1950s and ‘60s ranch-style houses that cost between $500,000 and $800,000. In the 1990s, the Spanish Revival style was all the rage, and several subdivisions were built with stucco-sided, terracotta-roofed homes that largely fall within the same price range as their midcentury neighbors. New construction houses, with their contemporary, sleek exteriors, cost between $800,000 and the high $900,000s.
