Any posters live in this subdivision? If so, how do you like it?

There seems to be a lot of homes being put up for sale in the subdivision as of late. I know the homes are relatively new...is there a reason for the mass exodus? Home quality?

TIA

Off Pecue?

I have some relatives that live there. They built in there during one of the earlier phases. It's a nice, newer area and people seem to take pride in their homes.

I lived there for a few years. I think with the hospital built right next door property value has increased. Many people (like myself) bought low and sold high. Many doctors and nurses are now living in the subdivision.

All-in-all, nice neighborhood - no real crime. Everything was good.

White flight - did the first black family move into the neighborhood?
I saw this a lot growing up in the Monticello/Park Forest area.
A black family would move in, and 6 houses near it would go up for sale the next week.

We looked at a couple of houses in there before we bought where we did in April. I have a buddy that lives in there and they seem to like it

Gugich, my brother and I both live in that neighborhood. It's no Woodlawn, but its similar to what Woodlawn was back in the 90's.

Place really blew up post-Katrina.

Very "transitional" neighborhood in that it attracts people that may have jobs that will require them to move again.

May be concerns about development along Pecue if the I-10 interchange at Pecue becomes a reality.

Lots of people bought into this neighborhood right after Katrina. Assuming they didn’t stay forever, that likely means lots of those houses became higher end rentals, which a lot of people seem to be dumping in that area now.

The inventory for 3BR 2BA starter homes went up tenfold in the last 90 days. I know the pain because I’m selling too.

I was reading this thread like it wasn’t 9 years old lol. 9 years later, and still no interstate exchange, and Pecue is still 2 lanes.
