Walnut Estates Condominiums
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $476K·Walkability 2.9/10·Schools 8.0/10
The first thing you notice about Walnut Estates is the land itself—10 acres laid out with each unit sitting on about 0.60 acres, which means you get genuine space between neighbors without feeling stranded. Lots run around $456K, and that breathing room is part of why. You're looking at a condo community that prioritizes ground, not density, which reads differently than the usual packed-in development.
