My number two rated subdivision, Mesa Meadows, is a community with newer homes at affordable prices. It’s located southeast of the downtown area. The homes were built between 2005 and 2017 are on large residential lots. A good number are one-level ranch style homes.

The roads are paved with curbs and gutters; utilities are underground, including water, sewer, and natural gas. Mesa Meadows homes sold in the $349,000 to $615,000 range during 2021/22, with an average price of $454,000. This neighborhood is ideal if you like a traditional subdivision of newer homes.
