For years, in this area, we didn't use vinyl as most people felt it had a "cheap" feel and look to it.

However, that has changed. More and more n'hoods use vinyl siding. I don't know much about it but I do know there are grades of vinyl, some better than others.

Depending on what you find and if you do consider vinyl, I would consider Highland Creek, although I think the commute from Durant Road area would be a shorter commute.

And, if the entire neighborhood has vinyl siding, you wouldn't go to the additional expense of using fiber cement.

I looked at Highland Creek yesterday. Their Phase 1 houses were very nice looking, but I didn't like the layout of the only 3 left. Their Phase 2 houses have a much cheaper look, unfortunately.

Have you checked Bedford? There are some brand new homes in your price range.

Keep in mind that you should take your Buyer's Agent with you when you buy new construction.

Yeah I looked at Bedford. They have some that could be feasible. It's a consideration (that neighborhood redefines massive).

the Glen on Spring Forest is a big leader, though...as is Old Milburnie Crossing

Take Vicki, she knows her stuff.

If I didn't love renting so much, Vicki would be helping me buy.

Just an update, we ended up deciding to buy in Old Milburnie Crossings. That's a great, brand new neighborhood...quiet, with beautiful, well-built homes. It might not be for everyone, but you can still get to RTP in 20 minutes, and you avoid the traffic of Capital and 401
