An Opinion About New Construction in Clovis
When we arrived in Clovis, we looked at both new construction and at homes that were around 20 years old. I surprised myself by preferring the slightly older homes--here are some of my reasons:
The neighborhoods were much more pleasant to look at with large trees to provide shade for hot afternoons--a really good thing in this climate
Landscaping around the houses was well established
The rooms in the homes were generally larger--when the newer homes had the same # of square feet they seemed more cut up, as though they were just cramming in a higher number of rooms
There seemed to be more features that we were looking for in the slightly older homes--sure, we didn't end up with granite countertops, but we got a beautiful fireplace, a formal living room, and an incredible kitchen/dining/family room combination where we do our living
We got everything we were looking for at a lower price per square foot and we didn't have to put more money into landscaping right away
