about to buy a place, rented near the BCCC, like the stores/highway proximity; like the feel of the country club grounds (not the outer areas) anyone live there--or can suggest comparable area? Good grocery shopping (ie., NOT food lion); trees/green space; quiet, sculptured and upscale-in range not above $300-400k? Also considering Cary and Charlotte. Townhouse or older build homes, mature tree-lined all that jazz? Not too familiar with the area, but I have also seen pretty areas in N.Raleigh? thanks! (oh..and it HAS to have cable internet service-I HATE satellite!) thanks (again)
That is a great price range to be in because it will give you plenty of choices.
If you want to stay in Brier Creek, you'll most likely get a townhouse.
Otherwise, there are plenty of North Raleigh neighborhoods that are within your price range: Barton's Creek, Bedford, Crosswinds, Long Lake and those are only A through L!
$300-400k in BCCC? You must be looking at the townhouses inside BCCC as VickiR indicated.
What BCCC has going for it is the location and shopping center.
What BCCC doesn't have going for it is that the houses are plainly built with a national builder Toll Brothers. Quality is very average. Not a lot of high quality materials nor customizations. Some floorplans are not well thought out.
I've always thought that BCCC should have opened up to a more variety of builders and custom builders. But Toll Brothers got greedy.
For the overpriced homes in BCCC, you are better off buying a custom home with better quality and more lot space. There are many of these in North Raleigh and West Cary. Oh but wait, you wanted to stay in the $300-400k range. Hmm.

He could still get a custom built home in a n'hood like Crosswinds or Stonehenge. However, on the low end of that range, he'll have to update the home himself. On the upper end, he could find something already updated. And he'll get l/3 of an acre, which is more than he'll get if he buys brand new.
Crosswinds and Stonehenge still have build your own lots available? can you bring your own builder? any info you can PM me would be appreciated. thanks!

I'm talking about the homes already built in Crosswinds and Stonehenge. Those were all custom builders.
The Park At Stonehenge has a FEW lots left but prices range from $425,000 to $525,000. Dickerson is the builder.
There is going to be a new subdivision built near Sawmill and Six Forks but you'll need to use their builder.
Does Toll do any developments where they let other builders in? I thought their whole MO was to do it all from woods to dirt to houses.
I don't think so and that's exactly my point. Other upscale golf communities (Wakefield, Hasentree, 12 Oaks, etc etc) have a diverse mix of builders, thus bringing in a diverse set of nice looking homes.
Whereas BCCC is just Toll and many floorplans and elevations are the exact same. BCCC would have been a better community with more diverse offerings. A wasted opportunity for a prime location.

Some neighborhoods are large enough that there are many builders. Toll Brothers usually starts and finishes a n'hood without bringing in any other builders. Pulte does the same...they use all the lots within the n'hood, without allowing other builders. Sometimes when I think of "cookie cutter" neighborhoods, it reminds me of those builders.

These decisions are made by the developer of the subdivision.
When the tract of land is developed by an exclusive tract builder, you will naturally expect to see their product exclusively.
They develop solely for the opportunity to sell production homes, not lots, and the entire business model is based on that opportunity.
