The Calabria homes are poorly located in relation to the power lines. They tend to be really packed in close to each other as well. The current phase they are building now are really crammed in.
Regarding the MR’s, you have to factor those into your payment. They are what they are.
For some, myself included, the 5 minute drive in on Stonebridge Pkwy is worth it. It is really quiet out here. In contrast our previous home was close to everything, shopping, freeway, etc., yet we had quite a bit of noise and traffic. A big factor in our decision moving here was that we only have to walk 2 blocks to school. Everyone has different priorities.
My overall take on Stonebridge is to search out value in an existing home that is in distress. Don’t get caught up in the remaining builders hype regarding the state of the housing market.
