AN – The back yards aren’t huge, and as flu and others discussed, part of the properties are on the slopes since we are on the mountain. Plus, with slopes comes no neighbors across the street from you, and no neighbors directly behind you. Yet, you do have less usable flat lot area and the footprints of the homes are large. Now, NOT ALL homes have no one across the street. It depends on where your house is on the mountain.
The distance between homes is decent. Eaglepointe homes have more disance between them than the Crestview homes. Eaglepointe homes are located, on average, on 14,000 sq. ft. lots, so the 1 acre is not the norm. Crestview has smaller lots.[/quote]
I know the backyard is not huge, and my eye balling estimate coincide w/ your statement of average 14k sq-ft lot. I said the backyard/side yard feels like a 2000 sq-ft single story house on a 1/4 acre lot. So the extra 2000 sq-ft lot goes to adding the size of the house.
I went to see the Eaglepointe models and I like the single story the best. The 2 stories model didn’t do it for me.
