Inside the Market
Most of the townhomes in this city were built in the 1980s or later, although a few properties date back to the turn of the 19th century. The urban fabric of the area boasts a modest but consistent density, which translates to ample back yards in most properties as well as large garages and circular driveways. The units tend to reflect this spaciousness, with layouts that span multiple floors, and bedrooms that provide plenty of additional area for other types of furniture, such as desks or an arrangement of chairs and sofas. Exceptionally small units are rare in this city, as are residential developments that exceed four stores in height.
Architecturally speaking, most of the condos in this area favor a clean modern style with touches of neoclassicism. Columns supporting a grand front entryway are not uncommon, and the doors in these entryways often feature a pane or inset of specially styled glass. Gabled roofs with attic spaces make up a majority of the townhomes in this region, and most of them have garages that occasionally are large enough for two cars. Some of these garages have a unit over the main space that can act as either an extension of the main living area or a separate unit within the condo itself. The decor inside the properties is similarly upscale but understated; petite chandeliers illuminate rooms with freshly plastered walls and elegant carpeting. In some cases, hardwood floors make up the majority of the flooring for the common rooms, with tile or linoleum used in the bathrooms and kitchen. Two and three bedroom units are common, although occasionally a larger unit will come onto the market. In most cases, the kitchens within the units feature wooden cabinets and state of the art appliances, with a dishwasher, oven, and refrigerator usually being included. Depending on the age of the unit, these appliances may be stainless steel or made out of a white plastic facade to match a particular decor scheme. Most kitchens open out into an adjacent dining area, although some substitute a large island as a de facto dining table.
This municipality used to be part of several adjoining communities before it incorporated as its own city. This means that many people who live in the neighboring towns of Brockton, Stoughton, and Randolph often visit Avon, and vice versa, which has had a significant effect on the housing market. These slightly larger neighboring cities have been developing a number of new townhouse projects, while this city has been concentrating primarily on maintaining its current density and protecting its natural resources, which include several public parks and a significant portion of the Brockton Reservoir.
However, the city has approved several new developments in its retail corridor, specifically along Stockwell Drive, which will likely increase the demand for additional housing. The area has become a local center for job growth and has attracted a number of dynamic businesses in the past few years, a trend that shows no signs of slowing. This particular district favors one or two story retail structures that are located on lots with large amounts of parking. The relatively low density of the area means that many of these developments offer their tenants unobscured views of the surrounding environment. Sidewalks make it easy for pedestrians to access the shops and office spaces, many of which feature publicly accessible green space in the form of trees or a small portion of lawn.
