I bought the 4th house in panatella and it was a terrible mistake. Two years of fighting weeds and debris all over, people cutting through my yard because I didn't have a fence etc.
..then the kicker. Behind me went a bunch of 8 plex town houses. Original build layout had single family homes not a bunch of 8 plexes. Out my bedroom window I could see into 8 living rooms. i got tired of college kids parking out front of my house and walking through my yard to their town houses so I built a fence (neighbor wouldn't split on either side because they were rentals). I echo the flat tires and services issues, no internet for 2 months was way worse than I expected.
As soon as I got grass set and all the landscaping done I listed and sold the house running as far away as possible. Never again will I buy in a new area unless there is landscaping and a solid house base first.
