Lots more questions than answers re the build out.
Some of the questions I have are:

1. Why was Brownwood built on the southernmost point of TV?
The other town squares are bordered by villages on all sides.
There was plenty of land south of 466A in which to locate the 3rd
town square and have it centrally located.
*Was it built at 44 because there are potential opportunities for acquiring
Land to develop below 44?
Just pondering.....
2. The massive build out of all inventory homes seems to be a bit of a stumbling block.
Many people seem to miss the ability to design "their dream home" and we see
What seems like miles and miles, hundreds and hundreds of finished, unsold, unoccupied homes just sitting.

I know the number of homes sold in 2013 was 300+ new homes a month. Without "custom design" as an option, I can't help but wonder if the number is lower for 2014.

I do think that it makes sense that they would have continued "custom design" if they were going to continue to acquire land and build as they have in the past.

But the Brownwood location sort of baffles me. One nice little tunnel under 44 like the tunnel under 466A would open up that entire area for new villages.

I guess we can speculate all we want.... I'm just glad we got in under the wire
For "custom design" and I hope any future decisions the developer makes will be as sound as the ones made up to this point.

We are very fortunate to be in such a fabulous place! No place else like it !!!
