Many lots back up to what is prairie in Richmond.
Homes that have views are higher than the wetlands, some have 8 foot drop, some slope down to the wetlands, or ponds. After walking many of the view lots, none were wet, and view is great. Walking paths cut through some of the wetlands.

Our lot is 8 feet above where the prairie is dry, even with rain from hurricane. With the turnpike 4 streets over, we hear wildlife standing at the back of our property.

When you arrive in few weeks you will be amazed at how the developer has worked Richmond around the natural areas.
Good to hear! Thanks! What location are you relative to the 2 sections of Veranda homes? We are hoping for a veranda with a view lot in the 2nd phase, but haven’t heard how the turnpike noise will be there. That’s the only unknown for us. Otherwise we like how it’s shaping up. I just hope we can get there before they start releasing them so we can check them out in person before trying for one. We would consider a designer spec home on a view lot too in certain locations. Wish we were getting there sooner!
