As a former hydrologist/flood forecaster, I feel I need to qualify my remarks above.

IF flood maps have been extrapolated for your newly developed area, they are likely of dubious quality because of the extensive infrastructure development here (which is still in progress). There is no history.

So, no one can tell you whether or not to purchase flood insurance with any degree of certainty.

As others have said, if you'll sleep better because you have it, buy it.
