I'm not that familiar with the area. You do have to drive through kind of a shite hole neighborhood to get tout though. But once you do, it's really nice.
What is wrong with DR Horton homes? Or that DSLR pr whatthehellever? Do they fall apart after a few years?

DSLD builds a decent house but they tend to be pure spec houses. Typically don't have a lot of variation in floor plans etc. but a pretty good house. Horton I would run from. Not saying they are all bad but they throw them up as fast as they can.

Go drive through South Point and look at all the for sale signs. Plenty for sale. Nobody buying. Lots for rent though. Took a great location and hired cut rate subs for cut rate prices guaranteed them easy work for the whole neighborhood. Cut corners with everything. Horribly built and they're falling apart, from finishes to faucets, cheaply and quickly made and the quality shows.
There is a reason DSLD buys large sections of unsold lots in their neighborhoods that stall out and then market the quality build angle on their homes. It's because DR Horton sucks.
Oh, and if South Point isn't enough, go drive through Woodland Ridge in Walker. Horribly built homes. Just terrible,
(Disclaimer: I have never bought, sold or owned a DR Horton Home. Nor have I tried to. I have worked with them on behalf of other customers and known folks who dealt with them personally and professionally. Don't walk. Run from Horton Homes)

As an owner of a DR Horton home, I would say stay away for them unless you followed the construction process on a daily basis. I knew what is was getting into when I bought this house, so I followed the entire construction process. Can't tell you how many things I caught along the way that would have been major issues.
They were about to close up the walls before all the insulation was installed and the space between the windows and studs was foamed. They use cheaper building materials as well. The molding comes in pre painted white and is actually composite board, and will warp if it gets wet.
My brother bought a DSLD home, and same thing, he followed the construction process all the way through. His house was better constructed and has has little in the way of warranty issues since moving in
