Lol at “VIP” members. Thats another way of saying “our mailing list for this development”. Interestingly, they’re requiring an initial application in order to get a tour. It’s not a credit check but you are asked to disclose everything but. I know this is a way to weed out uninterested buyers but I did think it was a bit weird to ask for all this info before you get a tour. The language in their mailer is really hyping up the property and using words like “high demand” etc. very curious how sales unfold this winter.


lol "VIP" because you can't get a tour now unless if you are on the mailing list. haha ... I do believe there is huge interest in this development. The appointments for the first two weeks are all gone and I believe they will get many contract signed before they open to the public. I went to the toll brothers property in Great Falls (Arden) a few months ago and they were selling like crazy.. I believe it will be the same here!

That is a bizarrely high estimate for options and would be a very poor investment. Options should total no more than 100k, and you can easily stay under that number. If you go over by that much, you’ll have the most expensive house in the neighborhood with little to show for it.



I have no idea how much the options will cost. I want the options below and there is no way 100K will be enough:

Luxury Outdoor Living Space and Gas Burning FirePlace
Multi-panel Stacking Doors
Grand Multi-Generational Suite Addition,
Prep Kitchen
Three Car Side Entry Garage
Ultra Shower
Finished Lower Level


For those options I think you are correct in your price estimate. When is your appointment? Not sure all the lots can accommodate those options...hopefully you have an early appointment?


My appointment is this Thursday. I agree, I don't see good lots in Phase 1 for larger homes (Ridgeview and Palatine)

I don’t think you would need to disclose the information if you just wanted a tour, but you’d have to wait 2 weeks until the VIP appointments close and it opens up to everyone.

A townhome? Compare the dimensions/width to other SFH, they are very much in line. I don’t think we’ll end up buying in the community but I love that you don’t have to look at a garage when pulling up to the house.

They won’t. They’ll come up with an excuse of how prices will go up and you’re getting the “best deal” now. Best advise is to wait until phase 2. Also, the lots will be much nicer than what they have available currently for the Windmill which are pretty bad.

The website works fairly well on a computer, but using a phone is very difficult as you mentioned. There are other mistakes scattered throughout like the Renwick “traditional” picture is that of a Parkhurst and a few other errors.
