Taffee Additon
Surrounded by nature
Median $340K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 6.5/10
Brick ranchesand tri-levels sit comfortably on spacious lots throughout this platted area, each one backing onto generous yards and tree-lined streets that feel removed from highway noise yet remain within walking distance of downtown. The neighborhood has the quiet feel of somewhere out at the edge of town — you get that sense of breathing room — but Bob King Park is just a short walk away, and the nearby nature trails draw plenty of foot traffic on weekends. Coffee, groceries, and dinner spots are all within a 10-minute stroll, and when you need more options, Twin Lakes lies about a mile over for a quick afternoon trip. The mix of updated brick homes and older foundations speaks to a place where people have quietly invested over decades; finished basements, open kitchens, and fireplace living rooms show up again and again in what locals have chosen to renovate. It's the kind of stretch where you can reach Gerald R. Ford Airport in just under 40 minutes, yet the immediate feel is residential and rooted — no strip developments, no rushed expansion, just solid homes on solid ground.
