You got the stats, but ask anybody who lives there, they love it. The worst has pretty much shaken itself out. I think It is now a great value there for the age & size of homes in Westerville Schools. Homebuyers were only a small number of the forclosures, there were speculators in there who after the first renters left, they quit paying. For the value and the greenspace, I think it is a great place and the stygma is wearing off

Yes, I see this too often in neighborhoods where Dominion has built. The next paragraph was taken directly from the Columbus Dispatch.

A homeowner said their houses are overpriced because purchase and financing incentives were wrapped into the cost. "The effect of the scheme employed by Dominion Homes is to sell homes. . . . worth far less than the amount financed and less than the amount of the appraisal," says the lawsuit, filed in Franklin County Common Pleas Court by attorney Edwin Hollern.

However, I need to add that no fraud was found this year and Dominion homes won the lawsuit.
