Q&A

  • Loyal Heights is a great place for single-family residences as that’s what most buyers expect here. Lot sizes are generally ~4000sf and are all are located in very walkable areas. School ratings are rapidly climbing as well as young families and professionals have been moving in at increasing rates.

  • Yes. If you come across one you like, grab it - There are a lot of buyers who want maintenance-free living but more than a condo here. There will always be a TH buyer population with their radar covering this area whether they have heard of Loyal Heights or not.

  • Yes! What, am I going to say no? Not in this urban area! Moving into a condo here is an excellent way to remain ultra walkable. Also, condos are typically maintenance-free and we are seeing a lot of younger career-focused and older populations who want the maintenance-free living of the condos here. Much less work than owning a house, but still have the joy of improving something that is growing in value!
