We are trying to buy a house ( new if possible as this is our first time), and we don't find much of basement options in cary/morrisville NC. We almost finalized on Greystone at gabels (MI Builders) but there are no basement lots available. The floor plan and the quality of construction has impressed us a lot. There are tons of amenities in this community.
Phillips place built by KB has basement inventory home but with less than 5 feet backyard. No amenities, Master bath is not really a master bath. The only factor that I think is a positive here is finished basement.
It is not really apples to apples but I would like to get some suggestions based on your experience for buying a new house.
Basements aren't very common here which is why you won't find many on the market. If the basement isn't a deal breaker for you I'd go with the homes that impressed you rather than a home of lesser quality that happens to have a basement.
You're more likely in this area to find a "daylight" or "walkout" basement on a lot with significant front to back slope. True basements are pretty rare.
We moved from WI recently where basements are must, so its hard for us to imagine a house without basement. But I am sure we can survive. Thank you all for your inputs.

You don't need a basement here.
We have walk-up attics more commonly. Those are nice for storage.

Funny, We're selling a resale walkout basement townhome in Greystone at the moment. We built ours in 2009 and are very happy with the whole process.
I LOVE M/I and have had very good luck with them. I would definitely recommend them I haven't read the best reviews on KB and IMHO, I didn't like their construction when we took a look a few years back.
I know you want "new", but I think there are some resale basement SF homes in Greystone? Maybe you could take a look?
Keep looking... I'm sure you'll find something you like with a basement!

That's nice to know that there are some existing homes in the same community up for sale, can you please direct me to the site where I can find these?
I saw a beautiful model home *with a basement* at Amberly village Square in Cary. it was, obviously, one of the single family homes, not one of the town homes. If we had an extra $150k in our budget I would have loved it.

We moved from Wi a few months ago-MISS the storage we had in the basement-and are afraid there will be nowhere to hide in a tornado!!
