Amenities/character Magnolia Heights Neighborhood consists primarily of single-story wood frame homes. Many homes have fireplaces, hardwood floors, large windows, comfortable front porches and mature fruit trees on the property. Homes range in age from the 1920s to within the last decade, and the prices are affordable. Developer Jack Apple built several homes throughout the neighborhood in the early 1950s, which are distinguished by their masonry construction and colorful ceramic decoration on the front. Small apartment complexes can be found in the neighborhood. There are many lovely, large trees in the neighborhood. One of our neighborhood association's goals is to plant a magnolia tree on every available right of way. Magnolia Heights is conveniently located and is within walking distance to bus lines, shopping, the post office and restaurants. The neighborhood's population is diverse, consisting of retirees, seasonal visitors, young families, professionals and artists and musicians. History Written history for this neighborhood is scarce.
