What this means if you are buying in The Cedarsspecific to this neighborhood
This is the sharpest version of a trap that recurs across this corpus: two neighborhoods, one name, one association. Whether a specific address is in the association determines whether dues are owed, whether trash and recycling are included, and which covenants bind the property. Establish it from the plat and the association's own records before making an offer, not from the listing.
What to check in homes of this agelate-century stock
With a median year built of 1985, most homes here are late-century stock. None of the following says anything about a specific house — they are the questions worth asking of any home of this age.
- Polybutylene supply piping was used in homes built roughly 1978-1995 and is worth identifying before closing; it affects insurability in some cases.
- First-generation vinyl windows and original roofs from this period are typically at or past replacement age.
What sold, in more detailsizes, bedroom mix and timing
Of the 28 homes sold, 4 were 3-bed, 23 were 4-bed, 1 were 5-bed.
Above-grade size ranged from about 1,584 to 2,696 sq ft across the middle 80% of sales, so the median alone understates how much variation there is.
Closings cluster in June, November and October, with 50% of the year's sales closing between April and September. Because closing typically follows the contract by a month or more, listing activity runs earlier than that.
