The average home in this peaceful neighborhood of tree lined streets and virtually no crime is about $240,000.

Some newer and larger properties are also available on the market, as are row houses and other types of attached real estate.
Most homes range in price from $170,000 to $330,000, but a sizable percentage of the real estate also sells for less, in the range of $90,000 and $170,000, and more, in the range of $330,000 and $490,000. A few select larger properties sell for upwards of $650,000.

The area surrounding Rossmoor is incredibly rich in history. Thousands of years ago it was home to semi-nomadic Native Americans, dubbed Montgomery Indians and still studied by archeologists. During the American Civil War, the region was briefly occupied by Confederate cavalrymen on their way to Gettysburg.
