Katherine Feser of the "Chronicle" said in 2003 that Rice Military became an "eclectic mix" and "a mishmash." During that year, Feser said that the range of house prices in Rice Military was "all over the map." Tim Bammel, a real estate agent of Martha Turner Properties, said in 2003 that a Rice Military "tear-down", or a house to be purchased so it could be demolished and replaced with new housing, had a price of around $150,000 ($ in current money). He said that a three-story townhouse would cost from $300,000 ($ in current money) to $340,000 ($ in current money). In 2012 Linda Jamail Marshall of Linda Marshall Realtors Inc. said that townhouses were a relatively recent addition to Rice Military and that the oldest townhouses are around were five to ten years old.
