As I stated on another thread, I drove by Harveston last night to look around at the community. My observations: First thing, the lake looked magical at night with the old-fashioned yellow street lights shining on it that they have positioned around it. It was chilly, but nonetheless, there were a couple people out around the lake. A woman walking her dog and a young couple hugging. The cottage-style houses right off the lake were on teeny, tiny lots. They were right upon each other. I can see why someone made the ghetto statement, although it was too clean to call it a ghetto. And I agree with 23109, those houses were very condo/townhome feeling. On those houses, the driveways were in the alley and again I agree with 23109, it’s not a good design imo. I think, due to that design, more cars were parked on the street that could have been parked in driveways. BUT, the driveways WERE clean, and they had trees planted around each driveway to soften the effect.
The houses further away from the lake had the driveways in front (yeah, better design) and bigger lots. The proximity to the mall and freeway were great. The home I rented and am about to leave in Rancho Bella Vista is far from the freeway and a real pain.
In summary, it did look like a nice place to live overall.
