Two different products, not two versions of the same one

Practically, Seton is where you buy if you want to walk to things. Cranston is where you buy if you want a detached house on a settled street, and possibly a view.

Read the median carefully

A community median is a statement about what sold, not about what a house costs. A community with a lot of apartment condos will show a low median even if its detached homes are expensive, and a quiet quarter at the top end can move the figure without any home changing value.

Use the medians above to understand the mix of housing in each community. To compare like with like, compare a specific property type — which is what the individual community pages break out.

What to weigh

Seton's density is the point, not a drawback — but it does mean more of the stock is condo, so the building matters as much as the unit. How to research one →

Cranston's ridge lots carry a real premium and hold it, because the supply of them is fixed. If a valley view matters to you, that is where the money goes and it is defensible. If it does not, the interior of Cranston is priced much closer to its neighbours.
