[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re new to building a home...can someone provide insight on what costs above base price to expect? Is there a ballpark for lot price, structural upgrades, design center etc? Base is 1.1M...should I anticipate 1.2-1.3 final or is that way off? Will we know the upgrade prices prior to the development opening? Thanks [/quote]

Full disclosure - we went down the path of building our home on a "on your lot" program via one of the area builders.  We eventually changed our minds and pulled out but expect at least 100k in additional costs over base.  You certainly keep things simple and stick with base but that means your facade choice is bear bones.  So, elevation and facade along can easily be $10-30k.  Add onto that if you want to finish your basement, put in a fireplace, etc.  It adds up quickly.  Conservatively, I think if you're picking 100k over, that's a good ballpark for modest options.  Now, if you want to go hardwood all over, an outdoor space, etc, you can get close to $200k.

[quote=Anonymous]Do you guys know if there will be parking spots/small parking lots here and there?  Also, will there be sidewalks. The development does not seem that Kid friendly; where a bunch of kids can play and bike around... [/quote]

Check out some of the plans online.  It's supposed to be family friendly.  There's going to be a dog park, lots of green space, ponds, playground, etc.  Not sure about sidewalks - good question.[/quote]
