200 W Westbury Drive

Sold Jun 26, 2026
Sold for $19k less74 sq ft smaller$8 lower per sq ftBoth recently updated

This sold listing on W Wbury Drive offers a very similar renovated feel to 120 Carolina Avenue but at a significantly lower price point. While it is slightly smaller, the interior updates like the tile backsplash and stainless appliances match the quality we see at the home for sale. Since this home sold for much less per square foot recently, it suggests the home for sale might be positioned a bit high for the immediate area.

Bottom line
Given that a similar renovated ranch sold for much less nearby, 120 Carolina Avenue appears to be priced on the higher side for its size.

103 Alston Court

Sold Feb 27, 2026
Sold for $68k more76 sq ft larger$54 higher per sq ftBoth recently updated

When looking at this property on Alston Court, we see a home that sold for a much higher price and cost per square foot than 120 Carolina Avenue. Both homes feature modern updates and fresh flooring, but the home on Alston Court includes a larger deck and a more modern exterior look. This comparison makes the home for sale look like a very attractive option for someone wanting a move-in-ready home without the $200k+ price tag.

Bottom line
Compared to this higher-end sale, the home for sale offers a similar level of interior finish for a much more budget-friendly total price.

616 Roxboro Road

Sold Dec 17, 2025
Sold for $34k less128 sq ft larger$51 lower per sq ftNeeds cosmetic TLC

The home on Roxboro Road sold for a much lower price, but it is a classic example of a property needing work compared to the home for sale. While it has more space and a basement, the interior features dated carpets and ceiling tiles that contrast sharply with the fresh LVP, new paint, and new roof at 120 Carolina Avenue. You are essentially paying a premium at the home for sale to avoid the renovation work required at this sold listing.

Bottom line
The price gap here is a direct trade-off between the move-in ready convenience of 120 Carolina Avenue and the renovation potential of the Roxboro Road property.
