HOA fees are $750 yr. There will eventually be another entry/ exit, but some of the builders are even saying they are expecting this to be a long arse project (between the houses and development that Wampold has planned across the street.

Main concerns are whether these areas will sustain their property value. Obviously Harveston is a new project which is TBD. And I'm not familiar with Woodridge.

fwiw all those houses in Springhill (i think thats the name) on Bluebonnet have done nothing but retain value and go up. It really just depends on what you want. I think values will likely hold and increase in both places. i use to live in Nicholson Lakes and those things sky rocketed in value over the years, mainly thanks to Katrina.

I like the Harviston Development, but I am a person that favors getting in early in new developments as long as they are run by competent folks like Mike Wampold. I think it boils down to what you really value as necessary. Personally I want a house and yard, especially if I have kids.

I am also looking for a house and had not heard of woodridge before mentioned here. I have been to a house here not knowing the name of the subdivision. I also just looked up the 10 or so houses for sale on cj brown. I like the location but every house looks the same and has a front garage. The front garage is a deal breaker in my book. I have my reservations about all the new developments in BR.
Harveston - great developer but zero lot lines and that close to gardere bugs me.
Rouzan - developer riddled with problems and way over priced
Longfarm - another good developer but he panicked and sold a ton of lots to dr horton. But a location I like alot.
not that many options for new with a yard and not sure i want to spend 350k on a house and redo the entire inside
