House Hunting

I've been scouting out different home builders in the areas of Frisco, McKinney and Little Elm. I really like a couple of the communities that I visited. One is in McKinney, and has Cape Cod-style homes. I loved the look that these had, especially with the big front porches! It's also located in Frisco ISD, which is a big selling point with me. They also have a new neighborhood going in that is going to be brick homes. We'll probably wind up going with a brick home, which is much better on the resale potential.

Another neighborhood in McKinney, also in Frisco ISD, is one that I also liked. They had some standard features that are typically upgrades in other homes. This particular builder also had some really nice incentives for buying a home from them.

Tuesday after my piano lesson, I drove out to a community in Little Elm. I visited with two builders and enjoyed both of them. The first builder was showing me some homes that were already built and for sale. While I like the floor plan and layouts of the homes, the back windows of the house (which happened to be in the family room and kitchen) overlooked a cemetary. I thought that was a bit creepy! I did really like the neighborhood and it looked like a great place to live and start a family.

This weekend, I'm taking David to the communities that I really liked. I'm really getting excited about looking for a house!
