Expect around $264 per square foot, which on the median 1,781-sqft home puts you near the $424,950 list-price mark. Pool homes make up 30 of the 126 active listings, and 13 are gated, so features vary at different price points. Eight listings currently sit above $1M for the top of the range.

It's competitive but balanced — 457 homes sold in the last 12 months, with sellers getting about 98% of asking on average.
