    "When you buy a home look into the area. Take a walk around the development and don't think it's out of line to ask someone outside about the neighborhood and people. If I could turn back time I would've done exactly that with Middlesex and Starlit Drive. FLOODS FLOODS FLOODS Bad attitudes, crumby neighbors and not a good place to raise a family."
