Elton Hills
Mid-century homes on generous lots, north-central Rochester.
The read
Elton Hills rewards buyers who can see past dated kitchens. Bones are good, lots are big, and the street trees are everything HGTV promises. Watch for original 1950s mechanicals — many homes still have them.
What Justin watches for in Elton Hills
- 01Original 1950s–60s furnaces, AC, and water heaters
- 02Cast-iron drains with rust scale and slow drainage
- 03Smaller original electrical service (60–100A)
- 04Aluminum branch wiring on later builds
These aren't dealbreakers — they're the things you'd want a realtor with two decades of home experience checking on the showing, not at the inspection.
