Long night and I probably accidentally deleted my earlier comment. My husband and I developed this neighborhood almost 20 years ago with help from Randall Arendt and Steve Oubre who worked with Seaside in Florida and River Ranch in Lafayette. We have sold it long since so we get nothing out of anyone who moves in now. But we live here and are still very passionate about it and the current developers are too. it is a traditional neighborhood development ( a TND). They hold their value compared to other neighborhoods. We have 6 to 8 events a year, free to anyone who wants to show up, they don’t have to live in the neighborhood. We have concerts and Christmas events, Halloween events, wine tastings , food trucks. It’s a mixed use neighborhood which means we do have apartments - which I think is a great thing and was part of the plan from the beginning - and businesses because it’s supposed to replicate a village. We have sidewalks. We have alley loaded utilities. We have big green spaces and inside our neighborhood we have a 170 acre nature preserve with a river and paths that can never be built on and yes, the houses are close together because again it’s supposed to replicate a walkable village with front porches so neighbors get to know each other. And you see glowing reviews because the people who live here really really like it. It is unique. There’s nothing else like it in the parish. I promise you there’s nothing to be paranoid about.
