This is a view of our street from the Cul-de-sac.  We liked the spread out, yet formal nature of the neighborhood and the attention to open spaces provided.  When you select your neighborhood you will have extremes to choose from.  Some neighborhoods are populated by town-houses which are in our opinion a step up from apartments, but the attachment to your neighbors will offer some challenges as time progresses.  Some neighborhoods are built with only a token amount of land with barely enough space between each house to tote a lawn mower and semi-private back-yards that connect. 

     Our neighborhood involves lots generally ½ acre in size with a generous amount of land between each home.  Finally, some prestigious or large home sites offer acreage, at a premium price.  It is all personal preference, as we know many people happy in a condo in an inner city tower, as well as those on 1600 acre farms.  There is no one size fits all building site, but you do have options for almost any budget.
