New Construction Question (Cary, Apex: houses, subdivision, building)

[seahawksweetie]

Just recently I have been researching the different homebuilder websites, e.g., Centex, etc and one thing I have noticed is I can't find how big the lots are that these homes are on.

Is there anywhere where I can find what size the lot is that the house is being built on?

I am finding that I fall in love a floor plan but I then can't tell whether it is a 1/4 acre or 1/2 acre or a postage stamp that it sits on.

Thanks

If the homes are listed in the mls then it would show the lot size there. If you instead of looking on the builder website look on the actual neighborhood subdivision website, sometimes they will tell you there. Most neighborhood websites will say, lot sizes from 1/4 - 1/2acre or when they list their available homes they will also tell you the lot size.

The actual builders websites generally don't have that information. So, if Centex was building in dansforth (here in wake forest), then you would get more information about the houses by looking up dansforth than looking at the dansforth information through the centex site.

Confusing? Email /PM me and I can look things up for you if you need!

I look up the plat maps on the county register of deeds website, or you can see the lot sizes on the county gis map.

I looked at a lot of these, and couldn't find lots sizes either. I ended up sending e-mail to each builder. Their responses indicated that we needed to look elsewhere. Lots were postage sized (most of them), mostly in the .20 range. We were looking for at least 3/4, preferably a full acre.

It makes sense that builders would chop up an acre into as many lots as possible, as that equates to selling more homes.
