What's the Neighborhood Like?

The homes you would expect to find for sale in the neighborhood are generally going to range between 1500 and 2200 square feet. Most of the homes were originally built back in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Since then, many of the capes and ranch style homes have had updates and it's not uncommon to find ones that have extensive finished basements adding to the square footage of some of these great homes. The smallest homes in the neighborhood start with 3 bedrooms while the larger floor plans have a four bedroom layout with some models putting the master bedroom on the main floor. Most of the lots range between 1/4 acre and a 1/2 acre so there is plenty of room for people to get out and enjoy the beautiful southern New England weather.
