The street grid here is tight and walkable—modest lots, mature trees, the kind of block where you're a three-minute stroll from dinner and four minutes to the village park. Homes range from early Cape Cods to recently renovated ranch-styles, many with detached garages, fenced yards, and the breathing room that comes with a quarter-acre parcel. Recent sales show owners mixing first-time buys with rental investments, updated kitchens paired with original hardwood, and the practical additions—mudrooms, storage sheds, expanded garages—that signal people settling in for the long term.
