Dear Rhonda,
We look forward to your family moving to the area. Sometimes when sellers list at last year's pricing, they sit for awhile...difficult to adjust to the market's downturn sometimes. The Highlands area is nice because it is located in a very desirable school district and it gets a good amount of sun. (2 qualities that I appreciate in a neighborhood!) It is on a hilltop which offers fantastic views! Thus, the streets can be hilly. Usually properties have nice usable back yards for your family's enjoyment.
I recently sold 2 homes in the neighborhood. One to a family and one to a professional couple. The family that bought there has a day care facility in their home and has many clients from the neighborhood, which were an overflow from the existing day care...lots of kids around. The park near the entrance to the neighborhood is very large and we have had group picnics there. The builder is Castle Rock and they have a fine reputation. If you are purchasing there, the property may be under the SB-800 bill which requires builders to repair any defects in construction (with conditions). Please let me know if you have any other questions, as I have lived in the area for many years and really appreciate the different communities and what they have to offer. Feel free to call or email any time as I would be happy to help you find a great home!
