Perry Homes in Creekmont (Fresno, Sienna Plantation: for sale, crime rates, how much)

[MsHuxtable]

I recently purchased a home in this community (Fresno, TX). I've been lurking on this forum do some time now and had a few questions I hope you all could answer:

1. How long does it take to get permits for new construction (in this area)?
2. On average, how long does it really take Perry to build? Does this include the time it takes to get the permits?
3. Anyone know/have thoughts on this neighborhood?
4. Will the expansion if Sienna Plantation (Sienna South) positively affect Creekmont?
5. What are the reasons ft bend isd allows a student to attend a school outside his/her zones school?

Sorry it's a lot but I'm very new to this process. Thanks in advance for the answers!

Permits are running behind all over the city due to all the homes being built. Usually takes 15-30 days and is now running 45-60 days.

Usually it will take 3-4 months to build a house but most builders are quoting 6-7 months, some even longer.

We looked in that area, crime was too high for my liking.

May have an impact on property values and may bring some shopping but overall that could take some time.

Not sure on the school thing, might call Ft. Bend ISD and inquire.

Prices are much too high for that location and neighborhood. Sienna may be close by but it's a world away in terms of safety and schools and it's expansion won't positively effect Creekmont.

I would not suggest Creekmont whatsoever.

I think they are already there -- but agree, looks like it's right next to Teal Run in Fresno.
Opposite side of Hwy 6 from Sienna.

There are Creekmont sections both north and south of Hwy 6. I don't know how much Perry discounts off list in Creekmont, but the list prices are just absolutely crazy for that area, bordering on larceny.

You could find resales in Sienna for that $/sqft.

When I was looking I about died when I seen the tax rate. That was enough for me to exclude that area alone.

Thank you all for your thoughts. While the neighborhood opinions you shared were considered in our decision prior to purchasing, we never found any evidence that supported these crime statistics for Creekmont. Teal Run, which is also in Fresno but behind Creekmont and separated by a large drainage ditch, may possibly be the neighborhood leading you to your opinion of high crime rates. For us, creekmont was just a good fit, especially after talking with neighbors and seeing there was only one home in the new section for sale (I guess people want to stay)

Has anyone had any other experiences with Perry Homes, their building timeline, or specifically their Creekmont neighborhood? Thanks in advance.

Great discounts . I've never really liked Sienna. Way too large for me.
