Don’t care about connectivity
Moved into DeSoto in February and really don’t care about connectivity. It is easier for me to drive to championship courses and we have 5 nice executive courses I can play down here. I also get free carts at championship courses which is nice and most courses are within a 30 minute drive.
I ride my bike by Magnolia Plaza 3 times a week and also drive by their daily. It truly looks like very little has been done lately. They advertised completion by fall 2020 when we were looking down south and that probably has slipped. The Publix at Lake Deaton is close so no big deal for us.
I am more interested in getting the roads done, especially the 4 landing of Warm Springs. This is a county issue and seems to be taking forever. The mess at 301 and Warm Springs also seems to be moving slowly (again county issue). It will also be nice when Meggison road is extended to Warm Springs. That should cut down on the trip time to Brownwood by about 5 minutes.
I think Don has it right, they look way overextended trying to open several areas at once and slipping on some of the infrastructure areas. I think the builder has an incentive to get connectivity done as soon as possible because I believe once connectivity happens they can raise prices on homes. But maybe there are issues with the state on getting that bridge over the turnpike. It will all eventually happen and in 5 to 10 years we will be talking about points south of 470.
