I don’t know anybody buying their 2nd, 3rd or more village house going north, but I do know many people migrating to south of 44 to buy their 2nd/3rd or more house.
Newer updated designs, natural gas option, better bike/walking trails, newer golf courses, younger residents, easy access to the interstate, and it’s quiet with less traffic.
If you shop target/Best Buy on a daily basis, then move north of 466. But if you need Lowe’s/Home Depot on an occasion, they are 20 mins away. Walmart is 15-20 mins away. We rarely travel north of 466, majority travel is 46)a south.
Never buy without checking out the lot/area in person. Stay away from power lines, highway noise, and water plants that can smell.
Well said.
