But even though you do not have the use of the land.. .you still have to water, mow and weed it. They call it maintainable lot.....read any new home for sale add.....very tricky in my opinion......
Totally not fair…  |
Sorry, but our corner lot has the same size (street) easements as all the other homes on our street(s). Our property lines do not end at the edge of our home. By their nature many corner-lot homes are placed deeper into their lot, leaving most of the expansion area on one side of the home. We have ample room to build on one side of our home.
We throughly enjoy our corner location especially getting to see, and being a part of, all the comings and goings.
I think your opinion that the developer is trying to trick prospective corner-lot buyers can't be supported by fact or practice. It concerns me that other buyers may get the wrong impression of buying in TV when I read some comments that may be just too broadly presented.
I know you looked at many corner lots but just maybe you didn't look at enough.
Keep looking, I'll bet you will find your perfect location in TV.
