Mt Juliet Neighborhood(s) (Normandy: home builders, neighborhoods, school)

[slederma]

I am currently looking at a Beazer Home being built in the Providence Marketplace neighborhood in Mt Juliet specifically Dunnwood Court. I currently live in KY but am moving to the Nashville area in July. I would love to hear from anyone who lives in or is familiar with this neighborhood and/or street. I would also like to hear any opinions from anyone who lives in or knows someone who lives in a Beazer Home. I enjoy living in a suburban setting. My biggest complaint are the parents who let their children run loose with little to no supervision. Nothing is quite so aggravating as a disrespectful little punk whose parents do nothing when they are told about their kids behavior. The worst thing you could have done to most kids from my generation is go to my house and talk to my father. I would have been hurting (if the complaint was valid, that is.) I realize that their are kids and parents like that everywhere but is Providence ripe with this kind of dynamic or is it few and far between. The thing I love about suburbia is being able to walk out my front door and hang out with the neighbors in a safe, quiet, tidy neighborhood where most residents have a sense of community and look out for each other and each others property. If Providence does not fit that bill please suggest other Mt Juliet neighborhoods that may be better. BTW I am looking for 3BD with a rec room or basement in the 250K or lower range. Thanks to everyone for the input.

Is that the Providence Landing subdivision? That one is so new I don't think anyone knows anything about it. The people I know in Providence (the already-developed part) don't have any complaints, although in any area with hundreds of houses, there are going to be some people... The main complaint I've heard from that area is the school crowding issue, but they just approved some expansions to Rutland Elementary and West Wilson Middle that will take the pressure off.

Beazer has a decent reputation by the standards of moderately-priced home builders.

As for the follow-up question, there are several good neighborhoods in Mt. Juliet you can get into for under $250k (maybe). The nicer ones I can think of, in no particular order: Willoughby Station, Brookstone, Oak Hall/Timber Trail, Cobblestone Landing, The Park at Mount Vernon, Kelsey Glen, Stonehollow, Chandler Pointe, Normandy Heights, etc.
