[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still so confused about the appeal of this neighborhood. I live near by off Glen.  The houses are so close together and it doesn't appear that there will be a community center with a pool.  Help me understand the appeal of new construction with this tract builder vs. renovating an older home nearby with more land and an established community.[/quote]

I’m confused why you’re confused. Even if it’s not your preference, many folks prefer new construction over renovating existing homes. In addition, while there may not be a pool, there will be walking paths and tot lots across the community—nice amenities. We’re not pool people, I’ve always been a bit amused by the fixation on pools by some in MoCo (and I grew up in Texas, where backyard pools are common!), so this set-up suits us just fine.

On land: I would love to have an acre or whatever eventually. But right now, I wouldn’t use it and don’t have the energy to maintain or otherwise fix it up the way I know I’d like to. Being close to neighbors doesn’t bother me a lick during this phase of life, and our yard will have enough room for what I consider the essentials: room for a porch big enough to grill and lounge by a fire pit, with some modest landscaping. We adore being in our backyard but prefer a lovely, small hardscaped space as opposed to lots of lawn right now.

I understand others would feel differently! [/quote]
