I do recall all the whining and crying about when are the convenient services coming to the Finney and Marsh Bend area. When those homes sold those folks had to wait for years for a Publix, restaurant, gas station, bank, etc. to be built. For the first few years it may feel like you are living out in western Kansas.
Living closer to 466 or 466A you really want for nothing as you have huge selection of retail store of every type and lots of restaurant choices. Easy to fuel and bank.
Buying new you will be dealing with a more expensive home, not to mention the massive bond to pay. Quiet possibly your property taxes will be higher as some areas you also pay city tax on top of the county.
