If you look there's plenty of homes next to the turnpike and as you said, it's subjective.
We are coming down once again and hopefully we will find something soon. Thanks for your reply.

So here lies the problem, there will be new house, neighborhoods every couple of weeks to months. Are you pre buying, still working, not planning on coming down for awhile? It not a problem many of us start with a vaca/investment home.
In 2010 First house we bought a PV, used it 4 weeks a years, high season parents stayed. Kept it 4 years made a tidy profit.
2012 bought a 3/2 cottage we thought would be our retirement home. Nope turned it into a long term rental with the best tenant who ended up being a friend. Sold house nine years later making a great profit plus rent.
2014 bought preowned 3/2 designer selling house #1. 2018 one retired, but sometimes fitting into established neighborhood can be difficult. We started looking at new areas in 2019. We decided Richmond was where we wanted to build. Sold house #2. Built in Richmond in 2/22, sold house #3.
Is Richmond our last house probably until one of us takes a dirt nap. We have been to the new area and street of dreams houses. Our model is still our first pick. We still maintain our northern home plus TV.
So here is your answer on my opinion. Buy what works for you now, but in an area that will grow like Middle (non family) area or Eastport. I think both will be a go to spot, to a I really love this house/new neighborhood you could make a worthwhile profit in a few years.
Either way keep in mind there could always be a better house, in TV, you just need to start somewhere. It may end up your forever house, or it may become the first stepping stone house.
