bgmiami

We just bought at Stone Creek last week having visited both Summer Glen and Stone Creek for three nights each.

I accidentally posted two posts with one saying we purchased at Stone Creek and one at Summer Glen ( a senior moment?) But in any event it was Stone Creek.

The people at Summer Glen were great and the houses, particularly the Bal Harbor, were really nice but the development is too far from normal shopping and Stone Creek has a classier look to it. Still I don't think anyone who buys at Summer Glen will go wrong.

We bought a spec home and now have to close by June 1, 2009. We are going to make a lot of changes as when you do a spec home you don't get to make your choices of tile, wood flooring etc. We are going to rip out some of the rooms with carpeting and put in wood floors as well as increase the size of the lanai.

I loved the golf course and my wife loved the pool area. We are looking forward to our new home but will probably split our time between Florida and Michigan until the real estate market recovers enought to get a fair price for our Michigan home.

BGMiami... Thank you. My husband and I are really enjoying Stone Creek, as well. We live in Buckhead. Looks like we also need to extend a welcome to Larry (LSchu77570) and Sprintrps, too!

Bgmiami,

Thanks for the welcome. I'm not there quite yet as I am having some closing issues up here in NY and plan a simultaneous close here and in Ocala - hopefully by Mid-May.

After I get settled, I'll try to get in touch with all the folks who have been so friendly and helpful on this board.

John

bgmiami ... tried to send you a private message; but it didn't allow me to for some reason - anyway, wanted to let you know that we live on 71st Loop - so I guess you are my neighbor!

Well..I took the plunge. I bought at Stone Creek today. I pushed out the construction start date to July, and plan to be there in October..if not sooner. Thank you to those who helped me with their valuable insight and buying experience (especially Ocalagala...bgmiami...johnG_NYC, and LSchu77570)i. I am very happy with my deal and look forward to meeting all of you.

Very happy for you, have been reading a little about it and it sounds like a nice place and a nice area - hope you enjoy it and keep those of us who live afar who might also be considering it updated on your move etc.

Sprintrps ... congratulations! We are just now settling down after the move and are finally starting to enjoy some of the amenities. I started going to the gym here at SC and am so impressed with the equipment they have... first class all the way, if you ask me. Don't forget to let us know when you are coming down again!
