DUTCH HAVEN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
People sometimes expect an older neighborhood to feel run down, but Dutch Haven actually has a wide range of condition, some homes are still original from 1966, others completely remodeled, which isn’t obvious from the price range alone.
Homes here typically run $800k-$1.4M. Condition drives most of the variation within that range, an original home and a fully remodeled one can sit at very different points even with similar square footage.
The larger driveways and side lots are the standout feature, genuine room to store a boat or camping gear, which is less common in many of Newbury Park’s newer, more compact developments.
Both share the same schools and a similar mix of original and remodeled homes at a relatively accessible price. Dutch Haven’s larger driveways and side lots are the bigger differentiator if storage space for a boat or RV matters to you.
It fits buyers comfortable purchasing an original home and updating it themselves, along with anyone who specifically wants the extra driveway and side-lot space for a boat, RV, or camping gear.
Since original homes sit right alongside fully remodeled ones, it’s worth asking about the age of major systems, roof, electrical, plumbing, on any original home you’re seriously considering, rather than relying on the neighborhood’s price range as a guide.
