Huntington Place: A Quiet Gem of Early Ranch Homes

Huntington Place: A Quiet Corner of Early Ranch Homes

Nestled just east of 4800 West on 3855 South sits Huntington Place, a small yet distinctive subdivision that reflects the early days of Granger’s post-war suburban growth. Originally divided into 36 lots, Huntington Place saw its first house rise in 1948 — one of the earliest ranch-style homes in the area — followed by a modest wave of construction through the late 1950s.

By 1958, only ten homes stood here, each an example of the Early Ranch style that defined so many West Valley neighborhoods of the time. Most were built of sturdy brick, with low-slung lines and practical layouts that spoke to the optimism and simplicity of the era.

Though the majority of Huntington Place’s lots were developed after the historic period, the neighborhood has retained a notable architectural consistency. Newer homes were built to blend in, preserving the cohesive look and quiet feel that still echo the character of mid-century suburban development.

Today, Huntington Place stands as a small but meaningful reminder of Granger’s transition from farms to family neighborhoods — a place where a handful of post-war ranch homes laid the foundation for decades of community growth.
