Thanks
OK - I found a more accurate FEMA map and it does show the flood zone is confined to the natural area and does not extend into the homesites. Never mind.

Is this home facing the preserve? We live in DeLuna and though that’s a great location it has one issue that hopefully you were informed about. That area of the preserve is a rookery where thousands of birds (egrets, herons, ibises, etc) fly in every night and roost very noisily all night. Some homeowners there can even smell it from their backyards. They roost mostly in the shrubs, but a few are in the trees too. We live in another veranda neighborhood and walk over occasionally to watch them fly in for the night. It’s quite cool and fun to observe, but we’re glad we don’t live right next to it. If you’re looking at a home overlooking that area I highly recommend you go at sunset to see what you’ll be living with every night. Some locations on Heather will be better than others in relation to the rookery. Just do your due diligence.
We love DeLuna after 2+ years now, and it’s getting closer to being the central area of TV with easy golf cart rides to both northern and southern areas, plus so close to the 301 turnpike onramp for trips outside the bubble. No regrets other than missing Calif weather and family. 😊
