The pics are great, really gives you a good idea of the neighborhood and it's layout. I'm not really feeling these homes. Style is always subjective but the main thing that gets me is the distance between the homes, the lack of acreage (looks like most of the lots are far less than even .25 of an acre) and the lack of a garage. I need at least a two car garage and wouldn't consider any home (esp. in that price range) that doesn't have one. I like to know my vehicles are parked inside where they can't be vandalized and are out of the elements. In addition, the homes don't look large enough to me. What kind of square footage do you get out there? For that price I'd want a minimum of 2700 Sq ft and looking at the pics I don't think most of those homes are that large...

Alt-X. . . All of the homes have at least 2 car garages, some have 3 car garages. The garages are in the backs of the homes and there are alleys that allow you to access the garages very easily. It is nice because you don't ever see any garage clutter from the main streets. Also, most of the homes are at least 2700 square feet, many are quite a bit larger. They do appear to be small from the front, but they are very deep homes rather than wide. The neighborhood website (www.kittscreek.com) offers floor plans and other information about the homes.

Thank you, got fooled by the back entry garages.... I'll have to visit the website.

Here are a few pics that show where the garages are located, and the alleys behind the homes. I noticed most of the homes are quite large. They look from the front is very deceiving, as they are very deep homes with large square footage. Hope this helps!

I think they are cute. I especially like the gothic touches. am sort of tired at all the beige siding I see everywhere.
My husband? He thinks they are too cute.
As I posted on the prior thread, add mature plantings & this neighborhood will be great.
I wonder if the people who live here are more creative on average than people in the more traditional developments? Hmmm....

I agree. If this weren't the case we'd all be driving around in Pontiac Azteks.

It is a bit Disney isn't it.

But then it will appeal to certain types of people. It's quite fun really. I'm just curious if there are requirements to keep homes looking like that or are you allowed to "tone them down." Puts me in mind of Cape May, NJ, the difference being that Cape May is a tourist destination.

We call it "Mickey Mouse Land" because all of the homes are doll houses.

Just curious. . . how does a neighborhood full of houses resemble a theme park full of rides? I do not see the parallel here. Until I see a line forming on my street for the "It's a Small World" ride or the "Jungle Cruise" or the "Haunted Mansion" I will not be able to understand the comments comparing the neighborhood to Disney World! Perhaps I could better relate if people were comparing the neighborhood to Celebration, which is a neighborhood near Disney World!!!
