Hi All - long time lurker.

Looking to build with Meritage in Colony - Stonehaven at The Tribute - The Manors.

They are giving a decent credit for deco allowance and closing costs.

My questions are the following:
  • How is Prestwick Academy STEM school? They keep pushing the Prestwick flag but LEISD is still very far away from being competitive with Frisco ISD.
  • Their houses are now in the $430K- $450K and I certainly feel these are on the high end compared the nearby recent sales?
  • How is Meritage as a builder as of late? I read a lot of negative reviews from 2008 - 2014... any recent experiences from those who built recently?

Thank guysss!!!

Me personally, I would not buy a Meritage home if I had other options.

I have a friend who used to work for Meritage... when he was looking to buy a new home, he went with a different builder, if that says anything.

All valid points. I guess every builder has bad reps.

Is there anything specific about Meritage?

Also, any feedback on Prestwick? Good / Bad?

Thanks

Location, schools, commute, builder, neither is outstanding. Why are you going there with $450k range budget? Just new construction?
