Recorded names & construction-year samples (3 record groups)

October 10, 2026 research snapshot. These are legal-description search groups, not a count of homes or certified plat boundaries. Divisions, phases and similarly named records remain separate. Year-built fields can include later replacement buildings and non-house property types.

Assessor sample by exact recorded name
Recorded name	Year-built sample	Residential lot sample
BRADBURY DIV 235 named parcel observations	2021–202530 year observations · median 2024	0.11 acres median30 acreage observations

BRADBURY DIVISION 190 named parcel observations	2020–202573 year observations · median 2021	0.1 acres median73 acreage observations

Acreage is the median of positive lot-size observations below 100 acres coded RES in the research, not a measurement of every home lot. Samples can be incomplete or overlap; do not add them to calculate community totals. Confirm the actual parcel, original permit, additions and recorded map before relying on a date or size.

Evidence: community documented. Development dates, association formation and individual home completion are separate facts. Research updated October 10, 2026.
