I am a new transplant to Durham and am struggling with the decision of whether to purchase a new home for the first time in my life or go with an older home, which generally has more acreage with it, a plus for me with a preschool child.
I like the new homes I've seen in the 300-400 range but they generally have such small or yards steeply sloped toward a drainage stream. Are there any new homes in my price range with decent yards 1/2 acre plus? We're here because of Duke so it needs to be fairly close to the university. Any info appreciated.
