Maybe the houses facing the low income apartment complex across Wilson will go for slightly less.


Do you live in arlington? Those lots are bigger than average. All homes north of Wilson and south of Langston are close to each other. Most lots are in the 6-7000 sq ft range which is why we are having a tough time buying a Teardown.

Location is terrible. Cardinal and Yorktown are not bad. But unless you build them on your own lot it’s pretty hard to find something new at this price. I would anticipate a lot of people who are less familiar with Arlington being interested.

And I hope the real estate people switch the LED light fixtures to “soft white” mode. I don’t get why people like the default bright white LED setting. Who can relax in a home with lighting appropriate for a laboratory? Those lights are too white and too bright.


Eww screened in porches.


Omg toll salespeople, enough! You have lost all credibility when you stoop so low as to act as though screened in porches are a bad thing. Just because tollhouses are too cheap to have them doesn’t make them bad.

they are quick move ins so should finish at 2ish at the start. But their pricing is insane, they are a production bad quality builder


Aren’t they better than Lennar Homes in terms of quality and materials?


Yes but if you want a good home, just go with another builder like classic homes, or castlewood or something like that. Also definetly negotiate price with toll as they are giving a lot of free things since their other homes are struggling to sell

Eating outdoors on summer evenings, whilst protected from mosquitos and gnats, with a ceiling fan to circulate the air is pure bliss. Without the screened-in porch you will need a lot of Deet spray.



We use ours 9 months of the year! Heaters, speakers, fans, TV.

OP here, I’m surprised they aren’t doing some sort of clubhouse with gym, pool etc like they have done for other neighborhoods.


They are calling it a community but this is Arlington, the houses are all actually part of the Dominion Hills Civic Association. It really isn't a private and exclusive enclave. They're just three times as large as most of the houses in the neighborhood and twice as expensive.


And a whole lot nicer.


They are still tiny McMansions squeezed on a small lit

Agree. They’re putting in the work today. You can spot the salesperson a mile away.

The houses are in a crappy location. I live down the street. You couldn’t pay me to live on that corner.
