Homes in Willoughby Acres are architecturally diverse having been constructed between the late 60s up to 2012, and range in size from 1,100 to more than 4,500 square feet. The neighborhoods are family friendly and pet friendly. Residents revel in the fact that it’s one of few communities where no one confronts mandatory Home Owner Association fees.
