This is an absolutely perfect example of why I am a strong advocate of buying a re-sale home. With the re-sale, you know exactly what the homes look like when you purchase it - and exactly what is around you - and the lay of the land.

As I have said, most re-sales come with a full year warranty on everything, much lower bond than new homes, ability to negotiate with the seller, no construction work, and probably all the upgrades you want are already there.

I really like the areas of Glenbrook, Caroline, and Virginia Trace for the types of homes and the views.
Also if you buy a home north of 466, you can see the seven grocery stores, the seven churches, five softball fields, two bowling alleys, hospital, plus numerous other stores: Target, Wal-Mart, Bell's, etc., plus many restaurants.

People say that these amenities will come to the new area around SR44. I just hope I live long enough to see them.
