Three useful questions
The median house price is $640,000, while units and apartments sit at $479,000. Bedroom count, land and condition still create a wide range around those suburb medians.
The Census counted 622 local families, and 20.6% of residents were under 15. That describes the community; school quality, travel times and the right fit for a particular family need separate research.
