If you are interested in a new build in the southern area, why not wait 2 years until the building along the turnpike is completed and they start building farther away from the turnpike? It would be nice if the developer erected sound barriers along the highway but don't hold your breath!
We were one of the first to build in our area of Osceola hills and there was a fair amount of construction noise and dirt for the first 18 months. (Also great taco trucks while the build was doing on.) The biggest advantage to building new in a newly opened village is the opportunity to buy a lot with a view on which to build the house of your dreams. Just budget the money to complete any changes in landscaping, etc. that you will want. Some people are happy with what they get, others - well, you have driven around TV!
If you are looking at an interior lot, I would consider the pros and cons of buying an "older" home which needs some work and retrofit to your specifications. Good Luck - Hope it all goes well.
