There are two sides of the new neighborhood where everyone moves in about the same time. On the good side, it is easy to get to know everyone. However, we have several friends who moved into a new neighborhood at the same time and, true, they all got to know each other faster than I did with my established "resale" neighborhood. But, it is just like a small town and everyone knows each other's business. Tell one person and within two days, the story has spread throughout the neighborhood even to people you do not know.
I like the established neighborhood as there is no construction going on, no dirt blowing around, no nails in the street, mature landscaping in place, you do not get surprised at what might be built closeby, and probably some upgrades you have to pay extra for or cannot get in a new CYV.
The buying price is negotiable on a resale. Making an offer is NOT taking advantage of someone. They either totally reject, accept, or counter the offer.
