IIRC – they do not allow rentals. It’s deed restricted. Unless that changed since they first came online in 2001…
It’s what prevented us from even considering them. We’d just relo’d back to San Diego from Philly and knew that life might toss us for a loop – and we’d end up moving back to Philly.
They may have removed the deed restriction in the intervening years since they were built… but that was in place at the time we were considering.
But I do agree with the advise to rent first. No need to purchase right away – the market is fairly flat and it will give you a chance to assess what neighborhood/school is right for your child.
As for looking at middle schools… I see the point of that. I’ve got a 5th grader so am in the throes of figuring out our next school situation. Better to consider it early.
