The area is wonderful. Very peacefule community, but I would not recommend anyone to purchase from Centex. I purchased a home from Centex and it has been nothing but a nightmare on Decatur Drive. Shoddy Construction! Everythings great until you sign on the dotted line. If you have a problem; you can count on Centex not to fix it the proper way. Short cuts: that their business!!

Sorry you had a problem! We're on Decatur too and have a great home built for us. Going on year #3, other that a few minor glitches, everything was fantastic. Also, when we did have issues Ben & Mark were always there to correct. No questions asked, no hassles either.
Hell Mark even hangs our Christmas lights every year for us - Pertified of heights
Sorry to hear about your problems with Centex. We can't wait to move. We visited in Jul '09 and totally fell in love with Cane Bay. We are on track to make the move early this summer. Getting married in May up here and will pack up and go shortly after
We've been tossing around the idea of moving down and renting rather then trying to coordinate and monitor a build while living up here (and planning a wedding and a move). I've seen some rentals now and then in Cane Bay (if anyone sees something, let me know!) We'd really love to rent right in Cane Bay, or at least nearby so that our daughter can start high school at Cane Bay High in the fall.
Hows development progress been lately, last I read Publix was to open in the fall of this year?
I'm self employed and planning to move my computer service business to the area. My fiance is planning on staying home with our youngest and offering in home child care. I've been looking for a small office to start-up in so if anyone knows of any rentals that become available please let me know.
Thanks again for all your input, we look forward to meeting all of you soon

What kind of shoddy construction did you have? I ask because I am in my fourth Centex neighborhood and I have always had great service. While everything was not perfect - as is the case with many other homes I've seen by numerous builders - they always stepped up when I had a warrantable issue. I did have a few issues that I brought to their attention but were not covered under warranty. I was on my second home before I actually took the time to read through the warranty manuals to get a good understanding of all the whats and whys. That was a big help for me. Not trying to sell you on Centex because you have your own experience but I do like people to know there are varying viewpoints. My experience has been overall outstanding. Hopefully your next builder will provide a better experience and meet your expectations.
Dont know if you guys saw the new sign where the Publix will be that reads "Cane Bay Medical Plaza" ... They show a map of the 1st two phases. So it looks like all that construction is the beginning of this project! I drove my bike thru there this past weekend, and it looks like where the Publix will go the land is all cleared. I definitely can see the Medical Plaza going up first. Also that new road thats cut out is "future" home development. Glad to see things moving again.
The newest map also shows a Presbyterian Church which will be located just past Old Rice Retreat and before the entrance to Dell Webb.
Saw that as I was leaving this morning. It took a while, but things are finally moving along.
They also have a sign out there at the front of the clearing going away from Cane Bay.
(take a right at the intersection and you can see it within 20 or 30 yards or so).
Glad to hear it is progressing. We are planning on being down there by August and are currently in the process of securing a rental in Old Rice retreat. We are so psyched!
Thanks for the updates. Hope to meet all of you soon!
Hey Billiam85, there is a home for sale across the street from me in Old Rice Retreat on Decatur Dr that just posted a rental sign there as well. Carolina One is selling the house and Tin Roof Properties is dealing with the rental, the number is (843)971-1695.
