Currently there are just 8 active listings in Brookside, with a median list price of over $1,000,000. That’s because half of the listings are over the million dollar mark, including two homes, one priced just under $5.5 million and another $7.2 million. Days on market is 74, as those high dollar properties tend to sit on the market longer.
