The Sequoyah Hills real estate market is comprised of many homes that were built over a long period of time. The neighborhood features heritage properties that were built as early as the 1920s, as well as homes from each decade since. Primarily, however, Sequoyah Hills real estate was constructed between the late 1930s and the 1960s.

What remains of those decades is the stateliness, handsomeness, and timeless quality of the homes. What doesn't remain is the evidence of their age. These homes were built as luxury estates at the time of construction. That old-fashioned luxury character is maintained, while fixtures and finishes have been updated. You'll find rich hardwood flooring, gleaming gourmet kitchens, and winding staircases. Dark wood trim, ivory accents, and decorative lighting are displayed. Each square inch of these upscale homes has been meticulously upgraded without compromising their historic sophistication.

Properties in Sequoyah Hills can be charming little cottages or grand, English-style estates along the waterfront. European architectural influences are evident throughout this area.
