Regarding Verrazzano, we are also considering it. However, I am not a huge fan of the alley entrance (back garage) and courtyards in lieu of yard. The demographic there seems more of a mix of older and younger people, whereas Del Sur seems to be mostly young families. I like the trees and overall landscaping in Verrazzano. I really like the look of some of the more traditional homes with front garages around the perimeter of the development, but most zillow puts most of those at 900K to 1M+.
Almost ALL of the resales in Del Sur are of the alley-entrance type, and most have a much lower square footage, so we have not considered these.
We have tried many times to like 4S Ranch, but so far, we haven’t liked it much. We have mostly looked at the North side, and something about that view coming in (thousands of houses, row after row) is not appealing. The streets are wider, but it also feels kind of empty.[/quote]
It is very hard to like the north side of 4s. The homes are packed in in a very cookie cutter way. The south side was a lot better, but the opportunities for bargains are less. Adding insult to injury, the north side MRis actually much higher in general compared to the south side.
Del sur does have a much better atmosphere. If the prices are low enough to justify the high MR, it is worth looking at.
verrazzano does have its occasinal bargains. Just need some patience. The atmosphere is much nicer overall, MR is lower than del sur as well.
