Sure, it's farther for shopping but shopping will be here soon and the atmosphere and pricing more than makes up for waiting for commercial development. I'm not against buying a used home as that was our intent and new is not for everyone but the savings down here was too great to pass up. If you do end up in Fenney be sure to join Fenney Friends (see our website) and come to the monthly social gathering at the pavilion to meet all of your great neighbors and of whom are new.
You should have looked further north, like North of 466. I bought a 1700 sq foot Designer with 2.5 car garage for $257,000. No bond. The home had just been remodeled with over $90,000 of very tasteful upgrades. A similar new home in Fenney costs about the same, has a $30k bond, and has few if any upgrades.
