The median home value is $387,650, down 2.3% over the past 12 months. Renters make up 53.2% of households and owners 46.9%, so this is a strong rental market. Slightly lower prices combined with steady rental demand can mean good opportunities in rental properties and affordable housing.

Room to Grow

The area has 941.1 people per square mile, rising to 972.3 during the day. About 7,860 additional workers and professionals come into the area each day. That daytime population supports demand for retail, office and mixed-use space as well as housing.
