[LAAFTERHOURS]

I purchased a home in Prince William county in 2004. Luckily my ca native wife pushed for us to leave so in march 2006, we sold our home and moved back to SD. We sold for 130K over our 2004 purchase price. Sadly the people we sold it to lost the home in 2009 and the current value of the home is 140K under what we purchased for in 2004.

I think anything inside the beltway is safe as well as the areas hugging it (all except PG County which is all ghetto).

Cost of paint depends on the brand of paint. Sherman Williams is high quality, more expensive than say Bher or the lowes brands.

My lady will tell you that good paint is worth it. We got a 5 gallon Sherman Williams bucket for 150 I believe. We had a coupon so I recommend signing up for those on their site if you like their paint.

[quote=Operation] Venzano has a lesser tax rate than the rest of SEH.[/quote]

Not technically true. The first phases of SEH have much lower MR rates. The HOA is higher in SEH (82 for non gated subdivisions and i think 130 for gated) but that HOA pays for all of the events. Some of the events require a tax bill/HOA bill to attend although venzano its included in a lot of the events in SEH but wanted to point that out. Also think about the schools down the hill bc they are already overcrowded and at some point (if not already) they will be turning away non SEH residents or give SEH residents priority.

[quote=Operation]Find the place you can see you and your family in long-term and let all of the other stuff outside of your control work itself out. It always does. [/quote] Totally agree. I like the Venzano homes, having looked a few before buying our home. I like the layouts and exteriors. I know that Venzano does a great job with the holiday decorations too so a very festive neighborhood.

[quote=Operation]
If you have any other questions about the community, I’m happy to answer them.[/quote] Same here for SEH. We went through an exhaustive search so I have a lot of info on MR by neighborhood and features if you need any input. There are deals to be had in SEH where some streets in the last 6 months have had 100K price difference in sales prices on the same model. The insides may have been drastically different (upgrades vs none) but it gives hope to finding the right home for your family.
