City blocks packed with beach bungalows and ranch-style homes
Childs Park’s wide, paved residential streets are arranged in a modified grid pattern, with about 16 homes packed on each rectangular city block. Most of the homes here were built between the 1940s and 50s. There are beach bungalows with wide front porches next to brightly colored ranch-style homes, along with some cozy minimal traditionals. Some contemporary builds with asymmetrical designs and flat roofs have recently replaced older, abandoned homes throughout the neighborhood. Yards in Childs Park are kept simple, with patchy beach grass lawns shaded by tall palm trees and moss-covered oaks. These two-to-three-bedroom listings usually range between $250,000 and $400,000, but some fixer-uppers can be found for around $150,000.
Brightly colored, one-story homes line the quiet sidewalks within the Childs Park neighborhood.
