[quote=Anonymous]For us, we did look at some existing homes and after running the numbers, preferred new. With new, we avoid the stress of multiple bids on a house and having to waive contingencies like inspections, etc to sweeten the offer. It was too much hassle. Regarding lot size, our current home is smaller, but on a bigger lot and we hate the maintenance once you add in lawn care, mowing, etc. every month it was a good amount of expense too. A few years back, we thought about building a pool and Montgomery County has so many restrictions and the potential liability it was enough to scare us off.

Before we contracted with Toll, we also looked at Pulte in Tower Oaks. The community there will have a club house with pool, common grounds, a cafe, etc, but the houses are even closer (looked like 6' to me) and you're sharing a driveway with the neighbor. With Mt. Prospect, the benefits outweighed the negatives.

[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][/quote]
