Local Insight
At $235/sqft in The Meadows with zero HOA fees, this 1980s home is pricing competitively for the area, though you're looking at a property that will likely need updates—inspect the roof, HVAC, and plumbing carefully given the age. The X flood zone is a genuine advantage here, which should keep insurance costs reasonable, and the lot size is typical for this neighborhood, so don't expect to expand significantly. The real question is whether the bones are solid enough to justify the price or if you're buying into a renovation project; the 360° tour should let you assess the condition before scheduling an in-person visit.
