## The Homes: Post-2015 Luxury

Most homes here were built after 2015 by builders like Benjamin Marcus and Heartland Homes. This means you get the modern floor plans buyers crave: massive kitchen islands, morning rooms, and finished basements with high ceilings.

- **The Look:** Craftsman and Modern Farmhouse elevations dominate, replacing the traditional brick colonials of the 90s.
- **The Lots:** Typically 0.5 to 0.7 acres--large enough for a playset but manageable for weekend maintenance.
