When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting.

Despite all of the residential real estate here in the neighborhood, NeighborhoodScout has discovered that much of it is vacant. In resort or second-home vacation areas, this naturally occurs because homes and apartments are seasonally occupied, and empty for a portion of the year.

The vacancy rate here is 83.0%, which is higher than 99.9% of all U.S. neighborhoods.
