dunelover, before anyone can really answer your question, we must first know more what defines your sense of nighborhood. The only thing you really mention is price point and looks of houses. Tell us what things you look for in a neighborhood in which you would like to live. What things are on your top five list? Everyone seems to have their own flavor of neighborhood, and unless we know your flavor of amenities and such, we will not know which one might work best for you.
Thanks SJ, I can appreciate that. Outside of price and style, the following are important.
1. Big % of permanent residents---kids
2. Pool at the house, or community
3. Biggest yard as possible---no 40 x 90 --we have to have room to play catch.
4. Interactive community of neighbors
5. Close proximity of commercial/industrial warehouse area
6. Interior that doesn't require remodel/update--no time for that in paradise.
7. Active Hoa and good covenants/restrictions
8. No flood insurance required
9. w/in 15 minutes of beach (30A)
10. Visually pleasing, well maintained.
Ok Sj, do you wish you hadn't asked?
I don't know, we may be dreaming, or seem like impossible buyers, but I hope not. We will be looking in August in conjuncition w/ our vacation, but holding off buying until February-April time frame. We don't want to move our business until then. So, the plan is to narrow down the neighborhoods, see if we want to buy or build.
We are used to a small, friendly suburb of OKC w/ good schools and REALLY Affordable housing. It is amazing to see what 450K would buy here!!! Yikes!! WE are excited to trade our heat, red-dirt, wind, and tornadoes--oh yea, snow too, for the beauty of SoWal.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
I have tried looking at this area and just can't find alot.. It interests me as well.....Do you think I could talk you in to sharing another new development name or two? Thanks in advance......now gang, be nice to Bobby J. ;-)
