Thank you for your shared insight and I can’t imagine having to make such a decision from afar. I know my husband and I have the luxury of visiting all the new builds within Del Sur and the surrounding areas.
The numbers look like what we were thinking of and again if it was the situation where we had school age children this would be a slammed dunk decision. I am wondering where is CFD 14 seeing it has the most allocated spots even compared to Del Sur.
Overall,
I want to thank everyone. It wasn’t more of a choice between gated versus non-gated but what was the best choice for us and our kids’ future education. We didn’t want to be swayed with the sales pitch of guarantee spot placement just because of Del Sur without hard numbers and knowing that for us it would be 5-6 years.
We want to thank everyone for their thoughts, experiences and comments. It takes a lot of time and we truly appreciated it. In the end, we decided on going with the Lakes. For us, it was because the home was already built out and we could move in before our little one comes along. In addition, knowing that we can’t place our kids until after Del Sur is fully built out that at that point we would most likely be playing the numbers/lottery game with either CFD. We do love the sense of community Del Sur offers but we admittedly are more the type to take our kids out hiking, to the beach or play dates. Both of us will be working and won’t be able to just have one of us go and enjoy the parks and pools much. So a combination of the home, the lot (without power lines), the lateness in when we will be placing our kids, and the final number we did chose the Lakes.
Thank you again,
NewHomeOwner and expected Mama 🙂
