Be careful of buying a home without the necessary commercial and grocery stores nearby. Middleton has a town center being built but it may be awhile before the stores are leased. The same with Eastport. Many erroneously expect once the squares are built, everything will be at fingertips. It doesn't work that way. You can build the store and commercial frontage but you can't make a business lease them. This takes time! It took Brownwood several years before it reached full capacity.
