I think every area has advantages and disadvantages. We were going to build when we moved here 10 years ago. I kept looking at a preowned on line. Before we made an offer, I parked at the mailboxes and walked the neighborhood. I met so many friendly and helpful people on those walks. It just felt right. The home we did buy had many upgrades from previous owners. We still love our home and neighborhood, so glad we didn’t build. My advice is get a feel for the neighborhood. Good luck in your search.
