[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was so disappointed in the low quality Mt. Prospect finishes and the school district is going to be changed--I stopped considering it.[/quote]

Agree with both. Subpar materials. Also why buy a new home in this area when the public schools are about to be changed so that you get much less for the money. You're better off buying closer to the soon to be established new Wootton boundary.  No point buying in Mt. Prospect.[/quote]

How do you guys know it is low quality ? when I visited the windmills it looked amazing. There is a reason the prices went up over $200K already. The school district change is a nonsense argument. People who can afford millions dollars houses can send their kids to private school if needed. Houses is the school districts nearby are not that cheaper and they are old houses .. People who bought phase 1 at Mt prospect made a great deal..[/quote]

I agree with the school issue.  [b]The rezoning concern is a nothing burger to most families buying at MP.[/b]

As for the low quality, fair question and the reality is that to most here, it's subjective.  I am a poster who was really interested in MP early on and was let down once we toured the Orchard and Hamlet.  Some things that I noted (and I acknowledge I am not a contractor lol)...

First, for context, I've toured several new home builders: Mitchell and Best, Wormald, Caruso, Kettler Forline, Lennar/NV.

- First off, not a big deal, but the design/decor was not awe inspiring.  I know they got a lot of their stuff from RH but still, it was unimpressive.  I expected more.
- The floor boards in the house are spring.  Not sure if it relates to the subflooring approach but I did not get that in the other homes except for Lennar.  The kind of subflooring that seems to have some bounce to it.  This was the big thing for me.
- The weird layout of the hamlet and its outdoor space.

Those are the things off the top of my head.  Nice homes, but I expected more given the price.

Why do you think that? I live in the surrounding communities. At least half Go to public schools in the million dollar plus homes. Do you think they will all go private? Not many kids in the neighborhood or what?
I’m just curious since it was absolutely a huge concern and much talked about in our neighborhood around the times of the school board elections. [/quote]

Not that they would go private, rather, I don’t think they would care a whole lot if their house gets rezoned to QO instead of wootton.[/quote]
