Default Seach the The talk of the village website which is a very transparent website

I'm aware of the North v South debates and also understand there really is no bad place to live in TV. I'm curious as to if there are better locations in terms of bonds / taxes.

I have read comments on other threads that the salespeople don't necessarily volunteer information. I'm wondering what questions / information do you wish you had asked for while you looking for your house.
You would be amassed on what you will find. Which and will bring transparency that might and can change your mind.

I've thought about trying them, but then I totally dislike when I have to be home during a set time window to receive a delivery when there's other things that I could be doing. How much of a time window do they give you?

Default not ask drive

Get a cart and drive from where you think would like to be acting like you are going to stores and activities you would want to. The houses are the same the cart commute made me stay above 44 when I moved back. AND ask about the prison, quarry and turnpike noise

We have lived here full time since 2018. We bought a used house that was built about 2010 - we are the 4th owner. Each of the other owners made upgrades so the home was well appointed when we got it - trey ceilings, solar tubes, decorative driveway, etc. The bond was the hardest for us to understand so you have to get comfortable with that. We elected to keep it as it will be paid for in another couple years AND if we would move, we may be picking up another bond.
Also - on a used home - make sure you understand the whole roof situation in regard to homeowners insurance. We had trouble getting insurance at the 14 year mark.
I wish the inspection report included the sprinkler system. We spent several hundred dollars after we moved in getting the system working properly - mostly replacing heads.
We have friends living in the souther regions. Our problem with that area is you are limited to restaurants that you can easily get to by golf cart and golf courses (if important). We are glad we live in one of the older sections.

Newell, Lake Denham, and Dabney are all in Lake County where the taxes are higher. This is where most of the new construction is.

Ask if in Wildwood as that adds to taxes and utilities.

If buying a new build, do not believe the statement, "Warranty is wonderful and will fix everything."
