So, more on the home search. We went and looked at two separate Coleman Homes neighborhoods.
The first is called Bellano Creek. It is out off Ten Mile. Kinda far off the beaten path, but there is a ton of new building going on out there, and I feel like that area is going to just boom here soon. Plus with the Ten Mile on-ramp, it isn't that much longer into town than anywhere else in the Boise/Meridian area. This neighborhood was OK. Nothing great, but it is fairly new, and not even close to being done or established yet. Plenty of options for this neighborhood.
The second is called Fall Creek and it is off the Victory and Eagle area. It is slightly more expensive for the same house models, and in my opinion, not nearly as good of a location. It also must be a bit newer, it has a very infant feel to it- not at all welcoming.
We do really like the Kirkham floor plan, as well as the Chapman. Both leave plenty of room for personalization and both are available in both neighborhoods.
There are no pictures for you, but here is the link to the model home in Bellano Creek that is the Kirkham floor plan. This happens to be over 3000 sq feet and has 5 bedrooms, which is way larger than I want, but like I said, there are plenty of options to personalize. :) Kirkham at Bellano Creek
And here is the second: Chapman at Fall Creek
We also drove around some other various neighborhoods: Foxtail, Paramount, Saguaro Canyon, Oakwood and Century Farms. There are a couple good ones we saw, but nothing that really stood out too much. The market is super tight right now, so not a surprise- especially on those established neighborhoods- which have several perks over a brand new house and new neighborhood.
Our next adventures are down in the downtown, north end, Harris Ranch, SE Boise area. More posts and hopefully some pics or something. :)
