Hi, we live in Creekside, we walk and bike ride around. Yes, they take previously owned, previously Lifestyle,
8 or so years old. They may remove all the old flooring, the older cabinets, anything that shows the age, they paint the total interior and the driveway, and yes, they do advertise them as NEW.

If the many heirs of Mr Morse wish to risk obtaining a reputation of dishonest marketing, then I guess that is their decision.
Certainly the homes will sell and at whatever price the market will bear, but this fact in itself does not make the sales practices ethical. I have nothing against free enterprise and the making of money, but sometimes greed is just greed.

They are in the Saturday (16th) paper and listed as NEW, on Peninsula and Old Dominion in the Creekside Landing Villas. So that clarifies it all, just off of OLD CAMP road.

But I still love to go to open houses!
