The two areas look very different by age though: Cooksville's median age is 55.6, while Dixie's is 67.0, so these are older, established communities rather than starter-home territory.
Lakeview follows close behind at $54,400, with a younger median age of 44.8. Hurontario and Erin Mills come in around $63,200 each.
