Detached homes range in price from $350K-$1.5Mill+ and attached homes vary from $350K-$1.25Mill+.

Recreation

A community garden, sports fields, playgrounds, splash pads and wading pools, basketball and volleyball courts, and ice skating rinks are some of the outdoor recreational offerings of Westboro.
