- Approx Homes — The ~50 home count comes from livingplaces.com, a secondary aggregator, not from a county parcel database or official plat. Treat as an estimate until confirmed against Delaware County GIS parcel data.
- Hoa Fee Current — The $725 annual fee appears in public records listing data for specific properties but is not confirmed by a current HOA document or management company. Fee may have changed since the listing dates. Buyers must verify.
- Most Common Elementary — Public records listing for 1 Smithfield Dr references Concord Elementary as the assigned school, but school boundary assignments can change and were not verified from the district’s current boundary map. Buyers should confirm directly with GVSD.
- Hoa Management Company — No third-party HOA management company name was found in any public record. The association may be self-managed.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Square footage range sourced from livingplaces.com aggregator. Individual homes may fall outside this range; verify from tax records or listing data.
