Hi All, I'm new to this forum and my husband and I have bought a KB Home and should be finished with building by Aug 07 - cannot wait until we move down. We both were born and raised in Staten Island and are bringing our 8 year old daughter with us. We just came back last month from the KB studio and chose our options. We have been down twice and loved everything about the town and state. Very exciting. I have always wanted to move south since I was a child. Anyway, from reading this forum lately, I'm assuming my daughter will attend Wesley Chapel Elementary. Are there any members who have bought in Wesley Chapel or have bought from KB Homes and can you give me your insight about the area and your experience? Are there farms left in the area, horse stables? I noticed quite a few Northerners are moving to NC and am also hoping to meet many people who are from NC also. Thanks, Janice

Don't want to burst your bubble. I love that subdivison but did they tell you they sold the land across the street and they are looking to put a strip mall there?
But that aside very nice subdivison. Which side did you buy on?

Well yes the bubble has been sucked up a bit...Yes, they told us the land was being bought, just heard that, may be another development or stores. I was disappointed with that - loved seeing the cows there and the rural feel. Do you know how large of a strip or if anyone is fighting against it? We bought on the Biltmore side and are pretty much in the back where the road is still being established. With my husband retired from the NYPD and me going back to school I'm thinking the quality of life and the people should still be more tranquil for our family. We really just loved the feel of the neighborhood and home layouts.
Which subdivision? I think St. Johns Forest is going to be reassigned for the next school year.
We are in St. Johns Forest in the Biltmore section. What school would my daughter be reassigned to? I thought she would be assigned to the Wesley Chapel Elementary since that would be the closest school to our community.
I would check with the Union County Schools -- Elementary school "I" is supposed to be opening next school year I think -- and I believe St. John's Forest is assigned there. I am not sure though. Definitely check with UCPS...

I definitely will check it out. Thank you for the info. What is "I"? By the way, I checked out your website, very nice. I'm sending it to my sister and her husband who live in LI. It amazes my husband and I about the homes you can get there for 600 where here they would be a million. Would you know anything about this strip mall that they are trying to build across from St Johns? How do you feel about this subdivision in your opinion if you are "allowed" to voice that? Thanks.
I have friends that are in The Villages of Wesley Chapel which is right around the corner from St.John's Forest. Their kids go to Wesley Chapel elem/Weddington Middle, however they are being reassigned to Rocky River Elem/Sun Valley schools next year. I think they are building new middle/high schools in the future, so who knows what the following year will bring. But definately check out UCPS to be sure.

I don't anything about the stores or the size. If you live in the back of biltmore it will be fine. But there will be a lot of traffic to get home and they will probably have to put in a stop light depending on how big the shopping area is. Glad they told you though and didn't mislead you.

Its one of KB's better subdivisons. I looked to buy there but found something else I liked. It was a tough decision. The only thing bad about it is if and when the strip mall goes up. Besides that its a great subdivison. I spent almost two full days there when I was looking and it was a very quite subdivision.
