Golden hour hits this little 19-acre subdivision just right—the afternoon light catches the homes on their modest quarter-acre lots and makes the whole place glow. It's a straightforward platted neighborhood where homes run around $268K, the kind of place where you're not paying for sprawl but for proximity to what matters. Veterans Memorial Park sits right next door, and there are a couple more parks within a mile if you want options.
