* Woody:

There are several significant differences between "north of" and "south of" 466.* The individual buyer needs to decide if each difference is an advantage or disadvantage based on what they are looking for.

For example, there are no new homes being built on the north side...they are all on the south.* But you may prefer a resale, so that would not be a factor.

Consequently, the neighborhoods to the north have been established for a number of years and the landscaping is more mature.* At the same time, the social network has also been established and the population will be several years older on average.* If the average age moving into a new section is 60 to 65, the average age in the established sections is likely to be around 65 to 70.

Different types of shopping or service oppourtunities may be important...there's more on the north side but options are increasing on the south side.
