Homes, Yards, and Neighborhood Character
Bar Kess Heights is predominantly a single-family neighborhood, with modest-sized split-level homes, ranchers and raised ranchers built in the 1960s. The average homes has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and do not have finished basements. Many properties sit on lots close to half an acre, which is larger than the average Aberdeen lot size. The neighborhood does not have an HOA.
There is also a small condominium community dating to the 1990s. These condo units have 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and vaulted ceilings.
What Buyers Should Know 
Because many homes date to the 1960s, some may need updating. I encourage buyers to consider both the cosmetic work they would like to do and the condition of major components, such as the roof, heating and cooling equipment, and windows. That helps you compare the full picture when deciding whether a home fits your budget.
The neighborhood also has an unusual layout in places. I sold a home on Farm Lane that sat in the middle of several surrounding homes, and that arrangement wasn’t something my clients liked. It’s a detail that photographs may not fully explain. I definitely recommend driving around Bar Kess Heights and looking at how each property sits in relation to its neighbors. Preferences about yard placement, views, and privacy are personal, so it’s worth seeing for yourself.
