Residential development began in the mid-1930s in Leeway Heights (and in Tara) and was primarily completed by the mid-1950s. Homes for sale tend toward detached single-family properties with architectural types including a Colonial Revival, farmhouse-style, Craftsman, Cape Cods and brick Ramblers. A small enclave of upscale townhouses known as Tara Towne Townhomes was also built in 1979. Most recently, there has been a trend toward extensive renovations or complete teardowns, often resulting in “New Craftsman” style homes—larger and fancier versions of those old gabled bungalows with wide overhangs and front porches.
