F$ck DR Horton. Next to the day I married my wife and the births of my kids, one of the happiest days of my life will be getting rid of my house they built. If I had a ton of money, Id burn the POS down and smile until the last cinder dies out.
They built our starter home too. It was a tPOS. That house didn't have a single 90 degree angle in it. I was so glad to unload it.

After I gutted our house from the '16 flood I found zero nuts on the anchor bolts but the house was built in the late '70s.
Crazy! I don’t know how inspections were back then though. Seems like we always get popped on frame inspection for anchor bolts and I’ll even go behind the finishers and install them between ones that are spaced too far apart
ETA: thought it was a recent thread until I came across my post from 2014. I was confused for a sec

Depending on the location there might not have been any inspections. There are neighborhoods in covington and mandeville that have some weird shady stuff in them.
Its one reason why renovations get freaking out of control.

DSLD is killing a few nice neighborhoods in North Bossier.
They are coming in the back (phase 3 roughly) and building for $110-113/sq, plus RDL.
You referring to Cypress Bend and/or Legacy?

can second this. They penny pinch their materials to the cheapest possible price at the expense of quality
Had it for 5 years and glad we got out when we did. Kind of feel bad for the guy that bought it. I would be shocked if its still standing another 5 years from now.

Better than DR Horton but that's not really saying much.

Just check Tuscany out shortly after any major rain event. Hopefully all flooding/drainage issues have been resolved from several years back.

Problem with dsld and others is you will not get any appreciation on your asset. They will build the same house down the line for the same price. Why would anyone want your house when they will get a new one for the same price. When material price decrease, and they will, people who bought at higher prices will be in a bind if they need to get rid of their house for any reason.

Decent for a starter home, but that is because the other builders like Horton are 100% pure shite instead of diluted shite.
Had one, it was fine for my purposes for when I lived there, not what I wanted to spend the rest of my life in.

Bought a new DR Horton and sold it within 2 years.
Design was good, but construction was terrible.
Windows condensed, cheap GE range top that burned out just the house was sold, a lot of scrap left in the attic.
Have an older 1 story on a 1 ac lot that is fine and have upgraded it to our tastes.

We made a choice to actively stay away from DSLD or DR Horton neighborhoods when we were looking to buy about 7 years ago and I'm glad we did.

Won’t win any design awards. But they’re generally okay

Great starter home. Good quality. Good customer service. Only bad thing is cookie cutter. Enjoyed my dsld home when I was in it.
