What I was getting at was a large building or complex might be built next to you if you had a home just at the end of the brand new residential area.
When I was looking 7 years ago, the sales agent would say, "look at the beautiful horse field right next to your property". Guess what is there now?
I bought a preowned home in Glenview on the perfect spot on the Fox Run golf course. Bond has $1500 on it, I was able to negotiate price, house had features in it I did not have to buy extra, and we are just very happy Villagers now.
Contrast that with friends who bought at same time - brand new in St. Charles. They were first house on the street and a year later the back neighbor built an extended pool area that comes very close to the property line (and never invites them for a swim). $20,000 bond. Landscaping was poor and had to be replaced. House extras had to be bought and installed. List price was not negotiable. Construction in the area for a year.
