A majority of the Millard community was built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Average home sales prices range from the entry level of low 200s to the 1+ million-dollar homes in Linden Estates; However, 95% of the houses are priced under 500k, allowing for a broader set of buyers looking for affordable square feet. 

Neighborhoods like Millard Highland South, located just south of Harrison Street, are coveted for entry level houses with access to the Millard school system.
