Stone Harbor & Avalon Single Family Homes
The prestigious towns of Avalon and Stone Harbor are unique in that the towns are comprised of mostly single family homes. There are typically about twice as many single family homes for sale on the island than condominiums and townhouses at any one time.
The zoning regulations that Avalon and Stone Harbor have established and maintained have had many positive effects on the island. It has provided a pleasant feeling of open space and also allowed the property values to remain more stable than other areas.
The styles of homes on the island have evolved over the years. At first the ideal home was a small three bedroom rancher. Next came four bedroom, three bath upside-down style homes that became known as the Avalon upside-down. Now the ideal new home has five or six bedrooms, as many bathrooms, plus a family room and a pool in the back yard! You can find many options including new construction. That being said, there remain many older homes and cottages that have been beautifully maintained or restored in Avalon and Stone Harbor.
If you are considering any of the single family homes for sale, you are looking at the right time. Currently interest rates are still low and the inventory is good. The best news is that there are many cases where the rental income of a home comes close to or actually can cover the carrying costs.
