Right!!
it'd be even better if they could chop every single tree & shrub down as well, like most all of the new villages...I mean who wants a noise buffer and natural green space hanging around, when ya got a lovely concrete turnpike running thru the backyard!
Oh I know, lets add some house size recirculation pumps running 24/7 in there as well...ya know, to help with the whole "rugged, urban-industrial" vibe!

Yep and that’s worse than the turnpike.

Oh they will sell in 5 minutes flat!

That makes no sense at all. you must be living a a Soundproof shelter now or have hearing aid to deaden the roar of cars and semi-trucks from turnpike.

It will be interesting to see how they sell now that the interest rates are up and inflations concerns continue. FYI....they are laying infrastructure way down at the intersection of Marsh Bend and Hwy470 so the dream continues.....

The comment about the patio villas is interesting to me as we live in a patio villa in Hawkins (also near the turnpike) and we have not met one neighbor in our neiborhood yet who is a renter. We do have a couple who are snowbirds but most we have met are owners/full time residents. Where did this info come from?

Seen a lot of development over the last 20+ years in TV and the one thing TV Planners have very good at, and done, is preserve most of the trees.
Unlike many outside developers who slash and burn indiscriminately
Most of the land being developed 'down south' was open cattle grazing land in first place.

You must really enjoy Turnpike noise, or if you don't already, you'll learn quickly to love it.

Go to any of the websites that cater to rentals. The lions share are smaller patio villas. Before I bought in MB I rented in Chitty Chatty. Every home on my street except for 2 were rentals.
