Zoesmom,
That is really a question only you can answer. I would suggest you check out the area. Drive around and see what happeing. Go during different times to see the traffic patterns and see the neighborhood. Best to see for yourself.

My MIL lives there and has been there for years. I think that back in the day it was a very nice place to live. It's right off of a busy main road (Red Bug) and very easy access to burglaries (there have been a lot in the area recently of Winter springs/casselberry) so I would personally hesistate to buy there since it is not gated and you are right off of 436 as well. The community is very mixed as well, and it's definitely a typical middle class neighborhood. I would probably not suggest it if you have small children, as there are lots of cars coming in and out and not much for little ones to do except for a pool. I'm sure it is very affordable now and the floor plans are very nice and cozy. Hope this helps. : )

Hi Zoe's mom,

I wish I could answer this question for you, but only you can determine what is a "good" place for you to buy. Each buyer has different goals when purchasing (being in a specific city, school district, proximity to shopping & dining, low HOA fees, etc), so it is quite difficult for any one agent to tell you whether the community is a good investment for what you are seeking.

As far as the activity in the community, there are currently 6 that are actively for sale. Of those six, it looks as though there are several that are short sales and/or foreclosures, which of course will impact the remaining property owners.

Knowing more about how long you plan to live in the property and what you hope to gain in appreciation when the market does turn will help me to better answer your question if it's related to the financial stability of the community.

If you'd like to talk further, I'd welcome the opportunity. My cell is (321) 377-0157. You can also email me directly at LaShawn@LaShawnNorden.com

I look forward to hearing from you,
