Larkfield and Highview have the most newer construction. Larkfield has two-story colonials and craftsman-style homes on wide lawns; Highview has townhomes and condominiums with open layouts and skyline views.
Why this matters
Newer homes often mean modern wiring, better insulation and open floor plans. Ask about builder warranties, association dues and the age of major systems.
