One of the main reasons why we bought a "used" home is that the brand new neighbor hoods look so baren because of the lack of mature landscape and trees. The entire new neighborhoods look sterile when you compare them with those north of 466A. In the "older" neighborhoods the trees and landscaping are fully developed, and that makes the entire neighborhood much more attractive. Also, when you buy a "used" home, you know what your home and the neighbors homes are like. You can't get that perspective when you are the first on the block to move in. Yes, I REALLY like our "older" neighborhood.
