There are 3 streets of 4plexes adjacent to about 850 homes that are $1.5MM - $2MM in price. Great neighborhood. My wife feels safe walking the dog everywhere in the neighborhood.

UPGRADES AVAILABLE (your expense): You have a narrow side yard but no direct access. If you want a small sliding glass door from the kitchen to the side yard, this can be added at your expense, Perfect if you have a doggie door in the slider. Also, a door from the kitchen to the garage can be added at your expense. I live in the identical unit next door and this is something I am glad I have and it is really worth the cost - especially easy to take trash to dumpster and get inside through the garage door.
