This may or may not mean what you think. When it is stated "3 homes per acre", that includes things like: roads, open space, golf courses, rec centers and pool/mailbox facilities, etc. It doesn't mean that each homesite will be 1/3 acre.

Also, in regards to the rolling hills: When we moved into The Village of Charlotte a year ago, there were "rolling hills" being leveled by an army of large earth movers just to the east of Charlotte Ct. (Where they put all that dirt I have no idea, but I suspect they used it to fill in a low area!).
