Property Overview: 985 Kimberly Avenue

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated home on Kimberly Avenue presents a compelling mix of space, value, and practicality. Built in 1975, it is notably newer than most houses on its street, suggesting potentially fewer age-related concerns than older neighbors. With 1,084 sqft of living area, it offers above-average interior space for the immediate block, making it a relatively spacious option in its local context.

The primary appeal lies in its significant value proposition. The home’s assessed value is consistently below average for the street, neighborhood, and city. This creates a clear entry point into the Valley Gardens area, often allowing for a lower property tax burden relative to nearby homes. The lot, while smaller than area averages, translates to less yard maintenance—a perk for those seeking a manageable outdoor space.

This property would suit first-time buyers or practical downsizers looking for a comfortable home in an established neighborhood without a premium price tag. It’s ideal for someone who prioritizes interior space and modern construction (relative to the street) over a large yard. The data suggests it’s a smart, grounded choice for cost-conscious buyers seeking a foothold in the community.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the below-average assessed value a red flag?
Not necessarily. It primarily indicates this home is valued lower than comparable properties in the area, which can mean a more affordable purchase price and property taxes. It’s always wise to understand the specific reasons through a current appraisal and home inspection.

2. How does the smaller lot size impact daily living?
The smaller land area offers easier, lower-cost maintenance and less time spent on yard work. The trade-off is less space for extensive gardening, large play structures, or expansive outdoor entertaining.

3. The home is newer than others on the street. What are the implications?
A 1975 build likely means systems (like electrical and plumbing) may be more modern than those in the street’s average 1958-built home. However, any home of this age will still have components nearing the end of their lifespan, so a thorough inspection is key.

4. The living area is above average for the street but average for the neighborhood. What does this mean?
It means you get a relatively spacious home compared to your direct neighbors on Kimberly Avenue, but it’s typical for the wider Valley Gardens area. You’re not compromising on interior space within the immediate location.

5. Who might this property not suit?
Buyers seeking a large, private yard for activities or expansion, or those who equate a higher assessed value with greater prestige, might find other homes more suitable. It’s a practical home rather than a statement property.
