Prices at the established townhouse communities Deer Hedge Run, Apple
Ridge, and Oak Ridge range from $189,900 to $239,000.These townhomes
were selling for over $300,000 during the peak, so they are especially
good deals for buyers looking for easy living.

during the first 5 months, last year there were 11 for the same
period. The median sale price Y-T-D for 2012 is $190,750; last year it

than they were last year. Sellers really need to be realistic about
pricing if they want to sell; buyers, this is a great time to buy a
condo or townhouse in Maynard!
