ParticipantSDEngineer – welcome to the neighborhood. I’m very glad that the final phase of townhouses will be built. My Stoney Creek Plan 2 is just a couple of houses away from the final phase, close to the second entry. I had feared that they would abandon or postphone the final phase, making the site a wasteland indefinitely.
I didn’t know that the new Plan 6 would be bigger with bigger Master and separate tub/shower. We probably would still go with the house, but the decision would’ve been much tougher to make. We’re closing escrow on the 24th and have been going to the site quite frequently to check on progress. Yes, I did notice quite a bit of traffic every time we went there. Poor Brooke, as she’s the only staff remaining, but she’s great.
Looks like all of us at Pigg buying (or interested in buying) at Riverwalk are cautious, sensible and with every intention to live there for a very long time. Riverwalk will be great community.

ParticipantWe also looked at Skyranch but never gave it a serious thought due to:
HOA was a big factor and I understand that it’s not tax-deductible. I’d rather have MR + low HOA for at least MR is tax-deductible.
Skyranch didn’t have mid-tier homes to choose. It start at sub-$400K townhouses to $600K+ houses (the least expensive Crestview homes were above $600K when I looked at them about a year ago) and nothing in between.
But the biggest gripe I had was the steep climb to the community. This would be very bad for the car, as it would worsen the gas mileage, wear out brake pad and tire tread much faster and make the engine work much harder and it normally would.
So I ended up buying in the Riverwalk community, north of the Trolley Center. Its townhouses are much nicer (and bigger for about the same price range) than Skyranch’s and it has the right mid-tier house that’s ideal for me. Low HOA and no MR!!!

ParticipantI guess I’m one of the 5% that qualify for both federal and state tax credit programs:
– Have not owned a home for the past 3 years
– Family combined income of less than $150K
– Buying a new home (never been occupied)
– Will own only one home and plan to live there for at least 5-10 years.However my lender informed me that neither program would provide immediate relief in terms of reducing closing costs or principle loan amount. If I have to wait until next year to benefit from the tax credit programs, that’s too long.
