We had a 2600 sq ft home with 4 br, 3.5 baths,full basement and 3 car garage -- it is currently on the market for 250k which is 40k less than originally built for in 07

We definitely want good schools as the kids were in a "10" based on great schools ratings. That being said we are used to dealing with the overcrowding issues and budget problems.

We also would like a pool community as we are used to having one.

In terms of location, both of us are working north of wake forest so not looking at Cary, Apex, etc. Given that the cost of gas is $3.42- don't want to make that long of a commute.

We have looked at Heritage and I can't decide if I like it or not (I know that I may be in the minority here.) The homes are much closer to each other and the yards are tiny. I also am not thrilled about the large yearly pool fee.

Any help would be appreciated. Since we just moved here I don't know which neighborhoods to avoid and which ones are popular. Thanks

And, another note, although I love the looks of heritage (and I think the homes are very well built, etc) it is not a place I chose to live when moving to wake forest. I wanted a smaller neighborhood, fewer houses, a little bit more space. There are a number of neighborhoods that fit the criteria, so you should have some great options.
