Surprised to see them squeezing in single family houses. Between the railroad, industrial/commercial neighbors, the high school across the road and the apartments, it wouldn't seem all that desirable for single family. I guess if the prices are cheap enough, with the current housing shortage, they will manage to get them sold though.
I remember a time when this was mostly wooded or cow pasture. Looks like the last of the area's land undeveloped. Between their Town Center land holdings and this, it looks like the Skinner family is taking advantage of market conditions to mostly cash out after over 100 years.
