I am not a "dog person", but it seems that there are quite a few homeowners with dogs. They were trying to get the builder to maybe do a dog park, but I am not sure whatever became of that talk. It seems you would have a lot of company as far as people with dogs in KC. Also, there are some bigger lots available, if you haven't already checked with the builder....

The residents have created a new website for all residents and non-residents to actively participate in. It is kittscreekneighbors.com

Wow, what nice homes! Thank you for sharing

We looked at Kitts Creek Homes when looking to purchase - they are Beautiful inside too - nice size rooms well thought out. The problem with Kitts creek for me was you have to go up the street behind the house to park in your garage and there is no backyard area. 7' of the side of the house is yours and 7' is the neighbor next to you but you get to use the neighbors 7' with your 7' on one side of the house and you can't park regularly in the street there are parking areas around but only enough room in back (your backyard) for a small table and a grill. Again though the houses are beautiful.

Can anyone shed light on how much the sales people are willing to work with you. My husband are looking at the Cottage Series. It is our first home.

If it is your first home, I would bring an experienced realtor. Although I would recommend this for any person buying their first home to any community. If you are buying an inventory home, you can get some good incentives. If you are building I'm not sure how much of a deal they will give you. Also, when you go in ask for Michael. There are two salespeople that work at the salescenter, Michael has a great personality and is very friendly! Also, there are several people on Moderator cut: url removed that are in the process of purchasing a home or own a home, they may be able to answer your question better. I own a cottage plan 1, which plan are you looking at? Hope to see you in the neighborhood soon!

Hello, for those that live/know this area - how's the road noise (like i540, triangle parkway, 54)? Also, having couple of kids - elementary schools? I spent few hours on the main site - I loved many of the plans as well as price is in my range...Thanks.

I had some business over in Morrisville today so I decided to swing by Kitts Creek to see how the community is progressing. I was surprised to see just how many more homes have gone up since my last visit back in February 2007. It was also cool to see the completed pool at the clubhouse. I noticed quite a few new home designs too. I know Kitts Creek isn’t for everyone, but I have to admit it is kind of cool to see so many different looking homes. Definitely not cookie-cutter IMO and super close offices in RTP.

Anyway, for those interested in this community here are some recent pictures that were taken on June 23, 2008

The clubhouse

Some more of the houses

Some more houses


















Somebody asked about sound barriers (here is a view of some on one end of the community)



House with nice sized yard (enough room for dog in fenced in back yard)



Some more homes

NRG is dead on. Our home in Five Points sits on .20 acres as do many of our neighbors. Many of these homes sell for 500-750k. An elderly neighbor that grew up on our street showed me pictures from the early 30's and there were hardly any trees on our street. Time changes everything.

That is so cool. I would love to see old pictures of five points with no trees. Must have been quite a site! What a difference 75 years makes!

And I don't mean to get cranky, but I have heard this line from builders and realtors so many times that it makes me wonder what motivation is behind it. I sort of suspect it means they have a lot more plain vanilla tract houses to move than people are interested in buying.

As someone else noted, whatever house you buy, wherever you buy it, you are limiting yourself in some way. I guess it depends on the extent to which you are buying a house versus a home, and how long you expect to live in it. Me, I don't want to spend several years in a house that makes me yawn just because it might take me longer to sell it some day.

On the flip side, I think it's probably also true that people who want a unique style are willing to pay extra to get it. And that most people who want a unique style want the uniqueness more than a particular style, so you probably are not limiting yourself to buyers who want that particular style, just buyers who want a particular style, instead of a plain vanilla tract house. Which I would argue is most buyers, not a few.
