Sadly there are realtors that give doom reviews on new areas. Why because they can’t sell new homes.

Plus you need black out curtains from the bright lights. So yes misinformation is coming from those who don’t live in the new areas.

The only residents I trust are those who live there. Here say, doesn’t work for me.
If I don’t know the person who is posting, I don’t spread maybe untruthful posts

And, I get to live in the fresh, new area. Way, way better.
In the eyes of any future buyers the ‘fresh new area’ you live in is now a neighborhood full of pre-owned homes with few amenities

Be sure to consider how difficult it would be to drive to the places you want to go.

For example, the neighborhood along Ternberry Forest Drive near the Palmer Golf Course has some beautiful and very expensive homes, but to drive anywhere south you have to turn left onto Buena Vista without the help of a traffic light or a roundabout, and that could be very difficult if the traffic is heavy.

In the newer areas, the neighborhood of De Luna is a long way from CR468 (Warm Springs Avenue) and I think it would be a pain to make that drive all of the time.

I think Chitty Chatty is the worst because it is very difficult to turn south on CR468, and it will continue to get even worse as more houses are built in Southern Oaks.
