  • pro The overall quality and first impression of buying a new home leaves a lot to be desired, even though the staff is described as very helpful.

Review

This place can feel incredibly appealing at first glance. One reviewer paints a picture of a very safe, lovely neighborhood where the surroundings are peaceful and quiet, and where neighbors are kind and respectful. They highlight beautiful wildlife and attractive houses, emphasizing how beautiful the scene is overall. For them, the vibe is calm and pleasant, and the neighborhood stands out as a standout place to live.

But those positive notes sit alongside strong warnings from others. A different voice is almost blunt in its assessment: they deeply regret buying the house. The critique centers on the HOA, which they call disappointing, and on Horton, the construction company, which they label as the worst in Florida. The reviewer warns that homes are being sold with numerous defects, and they recount a dramatic example - rains coming into the bathroom during the first week - before repairs were even completed. They describe a long list of unfinished work and remind readers not to forget the HOA, which they insist is bad. The tone is urgent and cautionary, underscoring a belief that this purchase was a very bad choice.

A third perspective adds nuance rooted in experience with multiple homes. This reviewer has bought three homes, the second of them brand new, and identifies the closing phase as the worst part of the process in terms of clarity and communication. They note defects that were flagged during the initial walk-through but not corrected, or if corrected, not thoroughly checked for quality. The kitchen emerges as a major disappointment - a place typically celebrated in new builds. They describe a series of issues: the kitchen sink wasn't mounted and sealed properly, the countertop needed buffing to remove stains left during installation, and even basic fixtures were missing, such as a toilet paper holder in the master bathroom. In addition, the sliding door blind wasn't installed, and an emergency work order had to be placed the day after closing because the kitchen faucet leaked from beneath. The overall message is that, despite a helpful staff, the initial impression and the level of finish in a new home left a lot to be desired.

The same review draws a broader conclusion about the experience: while the staff are helpful, the quality and the first impression of buying a new home in this development leave something to be desired. The emphasis remains on tangible defects and oversights that undermine the excitement of a new purchase. The kitchen - often a focal point in new builds - becomes emblematic of broader workmanship and finishing gaps, reinforcing the sense that the process did not meet expectations for a brand-new home.

Taken together, the collection of comments reveals a striking split between a highly appealing living environment and serious concerns about construction quality and governance. On the one hand, the neighborhood is described as safe, tranquil, and neighborly, with pleasing scenery and wildlife. On the other hand, the reports of defective construction, persistent unfinished work, and problematic HOA management cast a shadow over the living experience. The tone ranges from genuine appreciation for the community to frustrated disappointment with the builder and the HOA, suggesting that the overall appeal of the area is real but must be weighed against significant reliability and service issues.

Ultimately, these reflections sketch a picture of a place with undeniable charm and a potentially wonderful community, but with notable caveats. Prospective buyers are urged to approach with caution: thoroughly verify the condition of any new home, insist on rigorous remediation of defects, and scrutinize HOA practices and requirements. The contrast is clear - safety, quiet, and beauty on one side, and defects, unfinished work, and governance concerns on the other - creating a nuanced and cautionary portrait of what living there can entail.
