[quote=Anonymous]Saratoga has nice homes on big wooded lots. Much of the housing stock is 10-20 years newer than much of the housing stock that feeds into the West Springfield HS feeder elementaries.  The Saratoga housing is generally nicer than much of the housing in the area. It is newer and more updated (in general). It is also much, much cheaper than houses that feed into WSHS.

For example, for the mid to low $500s, you can get a nice, spacious updated 1980s-1990s colonial with a garage on a wooded lot that feeds into Saratoga.

For the same price, you can get a small ranch or split level with a carport built between 1968-1972 and updated in the 80s or 90s that feeds into Hunt Valley or Orange Hunt.

To buy an equivalent colonial that you would get for the mid 500s in Saratoga, you would have to spend between $630-690 in an Orange Hunt or Hunt Valley neighborhood. It would still be built almost a decade or more earlier than the Saratoga homes.

The house that feed into Saratoga take much longer to sell than the houses that feed into the WSHS feeders.
Saratoga IS divided by an industrial area from Lee HS, and neighborhoods from WSHS, but the mileage or time difference is really not that significant.

But tye housing cost and what kind of house you get for the money definitely is.[/quote]
