Explore the community location ↗The map link searches a community or visitor location; it does not establish boundaries or a particular lot. Test your commute at the times you normally travel and check the route from the actual home.
School assignments
Verify the exact address and intended school year directly with the district. Community names, nearby campuses, and builder materials do not guarantee an assignment.

Flood and insurance review
Check the individual property’s flood map and obtain insurance quotes. Community-wide descriptions cannot establish a particular home’s risk.

Questions worth asking before you commit.
A townhome and a detached home with similar prices can have different monthly costs and maintenance responsibilities. Compare the governing documents alongside the floorplan, garage arrangement, and location.
- Does the HOA maintain the roof, exterior, or landscaping?
- Which assessments apply to this specific lot?
- How far is the actual walking route to the amenities I will use?
Should I contact Lance before visiting a builder?
Yes. Contact Lance first so you can discuss representation and confirm the builder’s registration process before your first visit or online inquiry.
Can I compare new construction with resale homes?
Yes. Ask for a shortlist using the same budget, size, location, and timing requirements. Compare condition, included features, fees, and the total cost—not just the advertised price.
Are prices and fees guaranteed by this guide?
No. This is a research guide, not a property-specific quote. Get current written figures for the home and confirm them before making a decision.
