Explore Thornton Park & Delaney Park Real Estate

Real estate in Thornton Park and Delaney Park is desirable and meticulously cared for. Quiet streets, good schools, and central locations make these neighborhoods an ideal place to live for families and young professionals. The real estate market is mostly single-family homes, with some historic properties for sale as well. 

While these neighborhoods are only a few minutes away from each other, they each offer something a little bit different. Thornton Park is known for its more quaint, traditional feeling—applying to both its homes for sale and its primary commercial area, which is found along East Washington Street. There are a number of restored historic homes in this area, and this is likely why the architecture leans more traditional in the newer properties. Thornton Park is home to a plethora of bungalows, but there are also Craftsman style homes (single story or multiple). Dates for homes for sale in this area can go back all the way to the 1920s, and offer generous square footage despite their age. 

In contrast to Thornton Park, Delaney Park has a mixture of older homes and new construction homes. The latter are often built in more modern styles—custom built—and are large in size. These are, typically, luxury properties as well. This neighborhood has single-family homes built in a greater range of architectural styles: Mediterranean, Modern, Craftsman, Florida Coastal, and more. 

Although much of the real estate for sale in these neighborhoods are single-family homes, there are also some condos and townhomes. However, these properties are rather exclusive. Thornton Park has slightly more options when it comes to these properties, with some townhomes for sale located just steps away from the center of the community—and all the shops along the street. One of the recognizable condos is Thornton Park Central: a large complex with industrial loft-style interiors, which are popular with younger buyers. Delaney Park’s townhomes have gorgeous red brick exteriors, as well as amenities such as outdoor living space, parking, and gorgeous balconies. 

For those searching for luxury homes for sale, both Thornton Park and Delaney Park have a lot to offer. Luxury properties in these areas can be both older and newer homes, although new construction homes allow for upgrades and buyer customization. In regards to square footage, Delaney Park luxury homes are typically over 3,000 square feet, but Thornton Park luxury homes may start a little bit under this. While homes range in architectural style, once again, popular features include granite or quartz kitchen countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, outdoor pools, and more.
