[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Reserve was built in the late 1990s/early 2000/, and even back then, it had this vibe of trying way too hard to be something fancy. The name alone—The Reserve—is a joke. It sounds like it’s supposed to be some exclusive, high-end retreat, but in reality, it’s just a collection of HUGE overpriced homes behind a gate.

Even when it was first built, the homes didn’t exactly impress. The finishes were basic—cheap materials that didn’t match the price tag. The kitchens were/are especially bad, with awkward layouts that made you wonder if the designer had ever cooked a meal in their life. The bathrooms speak for themselves.  The whole place feels like it was rushed to meet a demand for “luxury,” but with little attention to the details that actually make a home well-built or unique.

The homes sadly have not aged well.  It’s awful and wasteful that it’s even being mentioned that a 8,000-10,000 sqft home built a mere 25 years ago is a possible tear down.  [/quote]

Interesting, I didn't realize this was a master planned community and why homes may be similar.  These homes listed aren't tear downs maybe, but definitely will require hefty renovation budget.  I am sure some people do this, buy these dated mcMansions that are already huge and have more than enough sq.ft and decent looking exterior and then renovate them on the inside, change landscaping/hardscaping and it costs them less than buying a brand new luxury home on a similarly sized lot in the nearby area.  That is if you like the exterior style.  You can't really go full on modern with these homes, but you can certainly make them more luxurious inside and with better flow. [/quote]
