Housing
The selection of homes in Geneva includes a little bit of everything, including historic homes, lakeside cottages,
turn-of-the-century farmhouses, post-war starter homes and new construction. Home prices vary greatly, from as little at $20,000
to over $500,000 - quite an extensive range for a community of its size. Most Geneva homes range from below $100,000 to the
mid $100,000s.
Throughout its 200-year history, Geneva has welcomed the changing styles and sizes of homes that reflect the changing
times of the community. The downtown area is full of two-story homes with wide front porches, hardwood floors and full
basements, most of which date to around 1900. Some of downtown's larger old
homes have been subdivided to create multi-family residences.
Moving away from the downtown area, properties are often larger; some homes are even perched on double lots, creating spacious lawns. Many homes on the Geneva real estate market feature large properties and full basements. First-time home buyers and buyers on a budget will be pleased to learn that Geneva's real estate options also include affordable manufactured homes.
The Geneva Housing Authoritystrives to improve the quality of life for the Geneva area's lower-income residents by administering public and private housing assistance programs and by assertively
promoting the development of safe, affordable, respectable housing opportunities. The authority also works hard to promote economic self-sufficiency. There are several housing complexes - including single-family homes, apartments and senior living accommodations - under the Geneva Housing Authority's management throughout the community.
Residential life in Geneva is a comfortable mix. Apartments, new construction, historic homes, lakefront cottages and specialized living complexes all make friendly neighbors in this tranquil community by the lake.
