Home Styles & Community Feel

Most homes here are single-family residences built between 1979 and 1988, and the neighborhood leans into traditional Southern styling. You’ll see Charleston-inspired façades, Cape Cod forms, raised cottages, and brick exteriors in the mix. Many homes feature hardwood floors, fireplaces, formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, and flexible main-level spaces that work well for offices, studios, or extra sitting rooms. Outdoor living is a real theme, with screened porches, wraparound porches, decks, patios, fenced yards, and in some cases pools and pool houses. Basements are common in the available records, while garages appear less frequently, which gives the community a more porch-and-driveway character than a garage-centered one.
