Default New construction in Apopka

Hi,

My wife and I are looking to purchase a new home in the next coming months, and we're very interested in a development called Emerson Park (built by Centex) in Apopka.

Right now we live in Sanford, but my wife works downtown and we're trying to find a place that is in between our two jobs. Is Apopka as bad as it seems? The development is closer to Ocoee than downtown Apopka. Is it a bad idea if we move there? What are the schools like?

Also, can we negotiate with new construction? They seemed pretty desperate when we were talking to them. I've heard about free upgrades and incentives, but can you haggle the actual sales price of a new construction home?

Thanks for your help!

Apopka isnt a bad area, there are a couple of others i would recommend simply because they have great access. You will generally find in terms of negotiating with builders, that if they havent already included things like Upgraded counter tops you may be able to get this, and you can negotiate with many 3% towards closing costs. Most now have discounted the heck out of the price so it is unlikley you can negotiate much if anything on price.
