I am in such a pickle!! We sold our house in Florida and have to move at the end of May. Here's the pickle part, at that time I will be starting my 8th month of pregnancy. I decided to move before not after on the advice of my doctor. I really didn't want to move an infant besides I need to nest. Although this situation is so far from ideal, it's been a very healthy pregnancy and I am trying to roll with the punches. We found a house although not exactly what we wanted in Willow Crest. This house is in the upper price range in the neighborhood but in the low end of what we can afford. The development has large lots and ours will be wooded. They will also be building a connecting development which will be more expensive along with building a indoor/outdoor pool. What it does have is a run down trailer park adjacent to the development which is really causing me concern. The developer is in negotiations to buy it but there is no guarantee! My realtor has shown me about, no lie, 100 houses and I think he is going to smack me soon. It's either this or bring home a baby to an apartment. Any insight or Advice? Desperate need for brutal honesty!!
I like this area, rolesville is definitely the up and coming place. It is close to wake forest, but is also growing enough that you will not have to go to wake forest for everything. I think the neighborhood his nice, you definitely get large lots with trees.
It is common to see trailer parks (nice & not so nice) as well as run down homes near the new developments.
There is a run down car lot - I mean, more of a junkyard, really... and a run down trailer park near me, and right next to Heritage. I think they will be bought out. There is a nice trailer park behind us on Rte 98 and it is for sale.
That being said, if you are not happy with that house why not get an apartment? Seems to me it will be hard to sell your home in the near future with all the new construction you will compete with in Rolesville.
Lisa,
I'm not sure you're still monitoring this posting. If you are, I hope all is well and that your move and delivery went well.
I am also moving into that neighborhood. I was wondering if you chose to move there, or moved somewhere else?
I've heard from the neighbors that live right up against the trailer park that it is NO problem and that the Rolesville police keep a close watch on the area to keep any trouble from happening. The whole city is motivated to keep the Granite/Willow crest neighborhood as nice as possible. That means, among other things also, they will be making sure that the folks in the trailer park remain good neighbors - or the whole place (T.P.) will have to go.
It would ne nice to meet another neighbor.
We moved her from Louisiana last July, but I have family in the area also. Would be glad to help you find your way around if you need it.
I love the neighborhood and we came close to buying there, but until they remove the trailer park, beware. Someone who really is in "the know" told us they've had rapes, domestic abuse, and problems with alcohol. Sorry to say that. Once that area is cleaned up, I'd give it a hearty thumbs up. For anyone living there now, I'd just keep an eye open. Get a neighborhood watch going.
