Turner Farms subdivision in Garner and Garner in general v/s Clayton (Pineville: HOA fees)

[dilaurorn]

The home we really want in Clayton may fall through. Beautiful, friendly subdivision with reasonable HOA. It's over by 42 and buffalo rd on a large wooded plot and close enough to join the Pineville center at Flowers for the gym and classes and community activities.
We are looking into another home in Garner in the Turner Farms sd that is lovely and actually pretty similar.
I don't know the area at all. I was hoping that we could get some insight from those of you here. Our children are in college so school district is only an issue if it reflects crime/safety levels etc. We want a small town feel with an open-minded fun active friendly vibe.
We have focused most of our visits on Clayton and have only been in Garner right on the 70/42 intersection for a hotel and to a few restaurants. We planned on the 4th of July at lake Benson but never made it there...

I live in Pineville subd and you would love the club. The are is nice and quiet but not too far from the town area. I grew up in Garner but I am very happy that my parents moved us to Clayton 20+ years ago. The Pineville club is great.

I love that area of Clayton and the Pineville club is awsome!
Unfortunatly I wasn't too happy with the way they cleared so many of the trees on the plots and we really wanted at least an acre, pretty much all the homes we've seen in there are on small lots.
Do you know if any of the communities in flowers fit the bill? its a great subdivision and you seem to get alot for your HOA fees...

What subd were you considering at Flowers? Most of the lots in Pineville around .5 or less. The HOA is $150 including the club fees. I am not aware of a Flowers subd with lots are large as what you are looking for. Be aware the Flowers areas have very strict covenants and HOA rules.

My parents live in Turner Farms and love it there. Very wooded and established subdivision, close to the 40/42 intersection. There are a few restaurants in that area, but for the most part you are not very close to a shopping center...White Oak shopping center is about 8 miles away.

If the house doesn't work out look into Eagle Ridge Sub-divison
